Web Server (IIS) Administration Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell

The Web Server Administration module for Windows PowerShell includes the Internet Information Services (IIS) cmdlets that let you manage the configuration and run-time data of IIS. It implements a namespace hierarchy containing Application Pools, Web sites, Web applications and virtual directories.

The IIS module implements one virtual drive named IIS. The root virtual folders are AppPools and Sites. Within the AppPools folder, run-time data, such as the currently running worker processes, application domains, and requests can be found. The Sites folder contains Web site folders, as well as applications and virtual directories.

By default, Windows PowerShell modules and snap-ins are not loaded in Windows PowerShell. To start Windows PowerShell so that all the Windows PowerShell modules and snap-ins are loaded automatically, right-click the Windows PowerShell icon in the taskbar, and then click Import all modules. In Windows Server 2008 R2, the Windows PowerShell icon is pinned to the taskbar by default. However, you must start Windows PowerShell one time to make the Import all modules task appear.

You can manually add the IIS Module to the instance of Windows PowerShell that you have opened by using the following command at the command prompt: C:\PS>add-pssnapin WebAdministration.
