Beginner Trying To Use PowerShell IISAdministration Module

  10 429 0.0 PowerShell

  This repo is used to contribute to Windows 10, Windows Server 2016, and MDOP PowerShell module documentation.

  

What I'm having the most problem with is knowing where to get information. I am a moderately experienced .NET developer (Framework and Core) used to digging through Microsoft docs to figure out how to do the thing I need to accomplish. I just can't seem to find the info I need. I looked up the cmdlet reference for IISAdministration and found a far smaller set of cmdlets than WebAdministration supported. This GitHub issue tells me that Microsoft seems to have no interest in adding specific cmdlets for many tasks, preferring instead to have us interact with the ServerManager object directly. So, I pull up the docs for Get-IISServerManager which tells me how I can get an active Microsoft.Web.Administration.ServerManager object. However, there is nothing here to tell me what I can actually do to work with this object that I can find - no API, no properties, just a pitiful three examples on getting the manager, listing sites, and recycling an app pool. Five of the eight recommended articles are for WebAdministration, the module they seem to be deprecating. If I search ServerManager from the list, I find an object that has cmdlets that deal only with Windows Features and remoting. If I Google for IISAdministration info, I find lots of articles on basic site setup but not what I need, such as setting custom headers for a site. I was able to find this site which talks about web configuration but it has no documentation or examples for PowerShell. I found this page that tries to direct users to a snap-in that has been deprecated. I found this page that points users at a link for the IIS Administration API that is defunct.
