  • Reading IIS.NET Blogs with Powershell

    Being a member of the IIS team, I often find myself checking blog posts to see what the members of the product team are blogging about.  However, since Powershell came out, I find myself doing more and more work on my scripts. It's a bit annoying to have to jump out of Powershell to go read blog posts.  As such, I've written a few quick scripts to help me read IIS.NET from my pretty blue shell. For those of you who are already familiar with powershell and don't want to read the long blog post, you can download my blog script from the DownloadCENTER: http://www.iis.net/downloads/default.aspx?tabid=34&g=6&i=1387

  • Extending Microsoft.Web.Administration through PowerShell (Part II)

    In my previous post, I showed you how easy it was to leverage your knowledge of the IIS 7 managed SDK in Windows PowerShell.  We loaded the IIS 7 managed assemblies and then traversed the object model to display site information and stop application pools.  While this in itself was pretty cool, I don't think I quite got my point across about how powerful IIS 7 and PowerShell are together. As such, I wanted to show you some more fun things to do with PowerShell in the name of easy IIS 7 administration.
