Vista - Accessing array properties from WMI

Hi
I'm trying to use wmi to modify the script maps for an IIS6 web site.
Specifically, I want to script the adding of PUT and DELETE verbs to the aspx
handler.

I can see that script maps exist for a particular website's IIsWebVirtualDir
in the IIS metabase.
But I can't figure out how to even read it from Powershell/WMI. It always
comes back blank

e.g.

get-wmiobject IIsWebVirtualDirSetting -namespace "root\MicrosoftIISv2" |
where {$_.Name -eq "W3SVC/357108404/root"} | select-object ScriptMaps

if i pipe the result into get-member the scriptmaps property is defined as:
ScriptMaps Property
System.Management.ManagementObject#ScriptMap[] ScriptMaps {get;set;}

So maybe it's something to do with the way the property is defined? Maybe I
have to access it in some other way?

Thanks
Martin

come across this before when the property you want to get is a lazy
property. Lazy properties aren't populated when you pull up the
object, instead you have to call the Get() method on the object and
then access the property.

Thanks for the reply. Yep, I've seen references to lazy properties too and
wondered if it could be related to that.

Which object do you think I should call Get() on.
I tried just calling Get() as follows but didn't seem to make any
difference. ScriptMaps is still empty.

$vdir = get-wmiobject IIsWebVirtualDirSetting -namespace
"root\MicrosoftIISv2" | where {$_.Name -eq "W3SVC/357108404/root"}

$vdir.Get()

The annoying thing is, I also tried doing this in VBScript and it seems to
return the ScriptMaps ok. Didn't know either VBScript or Powershell until
about 3 days ago, and beginning to think I made the wrong choice in opting
for Powershell.

Thanks
Martin
