IIS7 provides quite a few ways to create websites, applications, and application pools. The simplest

So with IIS7, there is a new way to get data out about your web server, using the new appcmd.exe process.

Nice article!

I am aware of how the powershell IIS provider can be used to create websites.

Do you know of a similar mechanism for the powershell approach?

- exporting XML configuration of a website definition.

- importing XML configuration of a website definition.

Hi Mike, Thank you very much for creating the appcmd tool! It should be quite helpful. I seem to be having trouble adding a virtual directory to each IIS site. I thought this should work: appcmd list site -xml | appcmd add vdir -in /path:/mydir /physicalpath:c:\mydir I thought SITE.NAME, from "list site", would automatically be used as the required app.name, in "add vdir". It is not. Was the task of 'adding a virtual directory to each site' considered, in the creation of the appcmd tool? If so, could you please share with me how to do this? If not, could it please be considered for the next version of appcmd? I understand you're no longer with Microsoft, but hopefully someone is still maintaining this helpful tool. I've also posted this question to forums.iis.net: http://forums.iis.net/p/1176391/1974795.aspx#1974795 I've also asked Kanwal the same question at: http://blogs.iis.net/ksingla/archive/2007/06/17/things-you-can-do-by-piping-appcmd-commands.aspx Thanks very much, in advance for your time!, -Aaron

Hi Mike, Does 'set config' support the '/in' switch? As in this example: C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list site /xml | C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config /in /section:isapiFilters /+"[name='MyFilter',path='C:\my_filter.dll']" I've also asked this question in the IIS.net forums: http://forums.iis.net/p/1182209/1998492.aspx#1998492 Thanks!, -Aaron
