Any suggestions on how to automate the setting of web site properties within IIS 6? Things like "application pool" and "default content page"? I can create an IIS 6 Website just fine, and I can create a IIS 6 Application pool, but I can't figure out how to set the application pool for the newly created website.

Hi Jason,
Not possible in the current version, we’re updating the actions now and will have a new test build available soon.
Regards,
Paul.

Great. Looking forward to trying it out.
In the interim I created a console app and used the Execute Action to automate the setting of properties. For those of you out that there that are trying to figure this out, here is a C# snippet to set a wildcard script map. a simple property setter and a method for displaying all the current properties.
namespace SetIISWebProperties
{
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.DirectoryServices;
public class IisWebSite
{
private readonly DirectoryEntry \_website;
private readonly DirectoryEntry \_webdir;
public IisWebSite(DirectoryEntry de)
{
\_website = de;
\_webdir = new DirectoryEntry(\_website.Path + "/ROOT");
}
public void DisplayAllProperties()
{
foreach (PropertyValueCollection pvc in \_website.Properties)
{
var name = pvc.PropertyName;
var value = pvc.Value;
Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", name, value);
}
}
public void SetProperty(string propertyName, string value)
{
\_website.InvokeSet(propertyName, value);
\_website.CommitChanges();
}
public bool AddWildCardScriptMap()
{
var scriptMapPvc = \_webdir.Properties["ScriptMaps"];
// verify script map doesn't exist (only add if it does not exist)
foreach (string scriptMapProperty in scriptMapPvc)
{
var scriptMapValues = scriptMapProperty.Split(',');
if (scriptMapValues[0].ToLower() == "\*")
{
return false;
}
}
// if we got here, add the wildcard script map with the specified value
scriptMapPvc.Add(@"\*,c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet\_isapi.dll,0,All");
\_webdir.CommitChanges();
return true;
}
}
}
Automating System.DirectoryServices is the key.

Hi Jason,
Here is the new build of FinalBuilder which allows you to specify an application pool and default document when creating a new website.

I’m still running an eval copy … can I install this version without affecting the remaining days on the eval?

This version you posted for Jason, does it support TFS 2010?
