It should work , You can use Diskpart.exe on both Basic disks and Dynamic disks. check Microsoft KB325590

Diskpart !

Expand the LUN on your storage array and check in Windows that the drive has now unpartitioned space. The data should still be there and accessible. Now start diskpart:

List disk, select disk x, list volume, select volume x, extend. Done.
