Vista - Help to get PowerShell to add/edit/delete IIS Manager Users IIS7/2

permalink · 12-17-2008

I'm banging my head against the wall on this one...and hoping someone here
can assist!

I need to be able to add/edit/delete IIS Manager Users in IIS7 under Server
2008. I know that I need to use Microsoft.Web.Management and more
specifically ManagementAuthentication.CreateUser, SetPassword, DeleteUser and
such...

My problem is that I'm not sure how to invoke the right namespace/assembly
and then invoke the code under Powershell. The IIS Powershell Provider CTP2
doesn't seem to have a method.

Can someone more knowledgeable assist me, please and thank you!

Cheers,

Hi Marco --

Thanks for the reply.

Yes -- I had a look at that...

> PS>[microsoft.web.management.server.managementauthentication]::createuser("username","password")

Anytime I've tried to invoke it -- I get: Unable to find type
[microsoft.web.management.server.managementauthentication]:
make sure that the assembly containing this type is loaded.

You and me both!

I'll keep banging away -- If anyone has any other thoughts, please feel free
to comment!

Cheers

I pulled out the old magnifying glass and noticed that, in my diligence,
that I copy and pasted your example:

Quote:

>[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("Micosoft.Web.Management")

So, in being careful, I copied your spello! <grin> Now that I changed it to:

[reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("Microsoft.Web.Management")

(note the "r") <grin> it now works.

You have made my day -- my week and possible my year!

You're the best, Marco -- spello aside!! LOL.

Cheers,
