Questions[appcmd](server)

we using the below command to get the list of the site added in is:

%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\AppCmd.exe list sites

but the above command can not take a list of app pools related to the site.

I want a list of app pools. if a single command to viewing list of site and related app pool, really good.

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?

If I run the following command on my server:

%windir%\system32\inetsrv\AppCmd.exe list site

I get this output:

SITE "MyCompany.MyProject.WebRole_IN_0_Web" (id:1273337555,bindings:https/555.555.555.555:443:,state:Started)

How can I get just the site name:

MyCompany.MyProject.WebRole_IN_0_Web

Is some kind of nasty string parsing my only option? The server is a Windows Azure instance.

I have this problem with my IIS7:

C:\Users\vtortola.dk>%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list site
ERROR ( message:Configuration error
Filename: redirection.config
Line Number: 0
Description: Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions
. )

Every time I try to publish an ASP.NET app to my computer, I cannot use it because IIS cannot read the configuration file, and I don't know how to fix this problem.

I've found the file at C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config, and the permissions are for:

• SYSTEM
• MyDomain/Me
• Administrators (MyPC\Administrators)
• TrustedInstaller

Is this correct? What might be wrong?

I have a script I have been using on another Windows 2008 to delete the IIS7 backup of configs and create a fresh one:

SET DEST=C:\Backup\Web\IIS7
SET BACKUPNAME=IIS7-CONFIGS
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe delete backup "%BACKUPNAME%"
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe add backup "%BACKUPNAME%"
robocopy %windir%\system32\inetsrv\backup "%DEST%" /MIR /R:6 /W:10 /ZB

But on a new Windows 2008 server, I get an access denied on the delete:

ERROR ( hresult:80070005, message:Command execution failed.
Access is denied.
 )

I have UAC turned off and pretty much copied all the settings from the old server (including user role being an admin). What am I missing?
