Any way to change the local path of a virtual directory using code? (C#
ideally but anything will do for now)
All I can find on the web is to delete and recreate, but don't really want
to do that.
Thanks
Paul
Hello,
You need to change the Path metabase property.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer20 03/Library/IIS/66e29f4b-7a46-4353-ab42-3be8b3964e47.mspx
Using the example here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms525712.aspx
It sholdn't be that tough to figure out how to write the code. If you need
help with that, please reply back and i will help you when i have time (or
someone else may help before me).

Hi Paul,
Please also notice that we need Windows 2003 SP1 or SP2 to allow the
System.DirectoryServices code work with IIS ADSI provider.
For samples about setting the Path property of a virtual directory or site,
you can refer to:
Creating Sites and Virtual Directories Using System.DirectoryServices
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms524896.aspx
Also using the Metabase Explorer utility in IIS6 resource kit tools will
give you a quite clear view of IIS metabase structure.

Below is another VBScript/WMI sample for your reference:
Const AUTH_NTLM = 4
Dim strServerName, strShortName, strChannelName
Dim strVDirPath, strVDirRoot, strVDirName
Dim strAppPool
Dim objLocator, objProvider
Dim vdirClassObj, vdirObj
strServerName = WScript.Arguments(0)
strShortName = WScript.Arguments(1)
strChannelName = WScript.Arguments(2)
strVDirPath = "c:\" & StrChannelName & chr(92)
strVDirRoot = "W3SVC/1/Root/"
strVDirName = strShortname
strAppPool = "AppPool #" & strChannelName
'Make connections to WMI, to the IIS namespace on the specified web server
Set objLocator = CreateObject("WBEMScripting.SWBEMLocator")
Set objProvider =
objLocator.ConnectServer(strServerName,"root/MicrosoftIISv2" )
'Add a virtual directory to the site; requires SpawnInstance()
Set vdirClassObj = objProvider.Get("IISWebVirtualDirSetting")
Set vdirObj = vdirClassObj.SpawnInstance_()
vdirObj.Name = strVDirRoot & strVDirName
vdirObj.Path = strVDirPath & strVDirName & Chr(92) & "Webroot"
'vdirObj.Put_()
'vdirObj.KeyType = "IIsWebVirtualDir"
vdirObj.AuthFlags = AUTH_NTLM
vdirObj.EnableDefaultDoc = True
vdirObj.DirBrowseFlags = &H4000003E 'date, time, size, extension, longdate
vdirObj.AccessFlags = 513 'read, script
vdirObj.AppPoolID = strAppPool
'Save the new settings to the metabase
vdirObj.Put_()
'Convert the new virtual directory into a pooled application
Set vdirObj = objProvider.Get("IISWebVirtualDir='" & strVDirRoot &
strVDirName & "'")
vdirObj.AppCreate2(2)
'Set the application name; cannot be set with initial metabase update
Set vdirObj = objProvider.Get("IIsWebVirtualDirSetting='" & strVDirRoot &
strVDirName &
"'")
vdirObj.AppFriendlyName = strVDirName
vdirObj.Put_()
WScript.Quit
Please update here if there is anything unclear.
Have a great weekend.
Sincerely,
WenJun Zhang
