I was experimenting with IIS7 appcmd tool and wanted to post my few notes for appcmd. There appears to be a lot more dynamic properties that can be set. I’m still in the process of figuring them out but wanted to post this for now. I found the links on technet syntax didn’t appear to be updated.
Add Site.
C:WindowsSystem32inetsrv>appcmd add site /name:”dev.iislogs.com” /bindings:http/dev.iislogs.com:80: /physicalPath:”c:domainsdev.iislogs.com”
SITE object “dev.iislogs.com” added
Delete site
C:WindowsSystem32inetsrv>appcmd delete site dev.iislogs.com
SITE object “dev.iislogs.com” deleted
List all properties for apppool
C:WindowsSystem32inetsrv>appcmd add apppool /name:dev.iislogs.com -?
