remote machine IIS management using commandline

Question

help me to manage IIS (what i am trying to do is create virtual directory, set properties of virtual directory) on a remote PC/Server.

and check iis is runnning, and a particular virtual directory exists.

iisvdir.vbs helps to manage iis on local system, how can i use it for managing remote systems.

or is there any other way to do this.

Answer 1

You could do a lot worse than powershell and the IIS provider:

even without the provider, powershell with WMI is x10 easier than with vbs.

Answer 2

I found it my self, but if any one has better of doing this let me know. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816568

to list the virtual directories The iisweb /query command uses the following syntax: iisweb /query WebSite [WebSite...] [/s Computer [/u [Domain]User /p Password]]

to create the virtual directory. The iisvdir /create command uses the following syntax: iisvdir /create WebSite [/Virtual Path]Name Physical Path [/s Computer [/u [Domain] User /p Password]]

it has servername in it.
