Deleting an FTP or Web site by using XML

Use the DeleteSite procedure of the Managed IIS Namespace to delete a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) site or Web site.

This procedure expects to be called with impersonate="1". The procedure impersonates the caller.

Example of a request that calls the DeleteSite procedure

<request>
  <procedure>
	 <execute namespace="Managed IIS" procedure="DeleteSite">
	 <executeData>
		 <IISPath>IIS://myMachine/W3SVC/4</IISPath>
		 <preferredDomainController>myPrimaryDC.contoso.com </preferredDomainController>
	 </executeData>
	</execute>
  </procedure>
</request>

Input for DeleteSite

The following input is valid for this request:

• Internet Information Services (IIS) path

  In the <IISPath> element, specify the IIS path of the FTP site that you want to delete:

  <IISPath>IIS://path of the IIS site</IISPath>
  

• Preferred domain controller (optional)

  By using the <preferredDomainController> element, you can specify the domain controller that you want to use for this request. Using a single preferred domain controller eliminates replication delays that arise between multiple controllers.

  This information is optional.

  <preferredDomainController>yourPrimaryDomainController.YourHostname.DomainNameExtension</preferredDomainController>
  

Typical response for DeleteSite

The response to this procedure does not contain significant data.

Important

• Although Active Directory is not case-sensitive for elements such as the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path, XML is case-sensitive. To ensure that the procedure executes appropriately, specify all tags, elements, and data using uppercase and lowercase letters exactly as shown in the XML examples. For additional guidelines on how to use XML, see the Microsoft Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/).
