Setting trust level in Sharepoint without changing web.config

Question

I want to change the trust level of a Sharepoint Web Application without having to change the web.config manually (i.e. WSS_Minimum, WSS_Custom, etc). Making manual changes to the web.config tag is highly undesirable in anything other than a one-server farm. Is there any way via stsadm or Central Admin to change this?

Third party tools or a Powershell script would be acceptable in that they would make clear that there's no native way to accomplish this.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Create a CAS policy?

Answer 2

See my answer here. There's an object model call to propagate web config modifications to every server in a farm as well as a freely available Central Admin plugin that wraps the OM in an easier to use interface.

Answer 3

There is a class designed for this called SPWebConfigModification that will propagate your changes to all member servers of the farm.

SPWebConfigModifications are a pain.. but this stsadm extension will make it a lot easier.
