Modifying a Web site by using XML

Use the ModifyWebSite procedure of the Managed IIS namespace to modify the properties of a Web site.

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

Example of a request that calls the ModifyWebSite procedure

<request>
  <procedure>
	 <execute namespace="Managed IIS" procedure="ModifyWebSite">
	 <executeData>
		 <IISPath>IIS://myMachine/W3SVC/4</IISPath>
		 <preferredDomainController>myPrimaryDC.contoso.com </preferredDomainController>
		 <properties>
		 <Property name="AccessRead">False</Property>
		 <Property name="AccessWrite">False</Property>
		 </properties>
		 <runState>1</runState>
	</executeData>
	</execute>
  </procedure>
</request>

Properties to modify

In the <properties> element, add or modify the any valid property names and values for this Web site.

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/).
