Create Web sites, Web applications, virtual paths, and application pools using IIS 7.0 PowerShell

Introduced

The IIS PowerShell name space includes such things as: Web-sites, Apps, Virtual directories, and application pools.

Using the built-in PowerShell cmdlets makes it easy to create a namespace entry and manage it.

Create a Web site

If you are familiar with PowerShell, you will know that under various PowerShell namespaces New-item cmdlet is often used to create

The new item. For example, the current command "New-item c:\TestDirectory" creates a new folder (although most people use New-item

Alias command "MD" or "MKDIR". Under the IIS 7.0 PowerShell namespace, New-item is also used to create new Web sites.

Parameters

When you create a file system path, you need to specify a path name. Unfortunately, this is not enough when you are currently creating a Web site. Except like

Network bindings is also required in addition to parameters such as file system paths. The following command is used to create a new Web site and use the dir command

To display:

PS iis:\sites> new-item iis:\sites\testsite-bindings @{protocol= "http"; bindinginformation= ": 80:TestSite"}- PhysicalPath C:\Test
PS iis:\sites> dir
Name             ID   State      physical Path                  bindings
----             --   -----      -------------                  --------
Default Web Site 1    started    f:\inetpub\wwwroot             http *:80:
Testsite         2    started    c:\test                        http:80:testsite

The-physicalpath parameter is used directly here. However, you may ask:-bindings look so complicated?

Hashtable is typically used at construction time (learn more about PowerShell hash tables here). A key value pair in a hash table represents a

Sets the collection that reflects the related properties in the IIS Site Bindings section:

<bindings>
<binding protocol="http" bindingInformation=":80:TestSite" />
</bindings>

Now we've found a reason to use hash table: The IIS configuration can be extended using attributes. (See here for more information). You

Imagine using other attributes to extend the <binding> element node. This elasticity is provided by the key value pairs of the hash table.

Frankly speaking, the grammar is a bit complicated. We are considering encapsulating some typical tasks in Tech preview: such as the method or script to create a site.
