I ran that script mate and got the below, for clarity the drives on the VM's are already 40GB.  Can I confirm this does extend the drive rather than nuke it and replace it with a larger one?  ...  If I change the value to 41GB however its works great, just a tad worried I might lose data however if I run it on production.  Thanks however mate, feel free to educate me and let me know how I was being a newb with this one.
