Is there a way to make my local AppCmd.exe to refer to a remote server?

  • 772

I need to remotely administrate IIS via command-line. Is there a way to make my local AppCmd.exe refer to a remote server? So that every command I pass to AppCmd.exe would be executed in another machine?

iis iis-7 appcmd

  1. You can download PSEXEC and run the following command:

    psexec \\servername c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd

    For example

    psexec \\servername c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list wp

  2. I don't think you can directly use appcmd for remote management. But IIS 7 has a PowerShell provider for remote management, check this article.

  3. Only if you're using Shared Configuration, but I don't think that's your intent.

    Otherwise it's PSEXEC, remote Powershell, or similar.
