How do I get the appcmd? Windows 10

Question

How do I get the appcmd to write commands? Using Windows 10. Getting this error:

'appcmd' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Also, if I have used this command:

appcmd delete site "Default Web Site"

If I what to do the opposite - do I use add instead of delete?

Answer 1

Appcmd.exe is located at path %windir%\system32\inetsrv and by default is not listed in PATH variable. So in order to use this command you have to navigate to this folder first and then you can update IIS configuration using appcmd utility.

By the way appcmd.exe is available only to the Administrator account or to users who are members of the Administrators group on the computer.

And to your second question, yes opposite verb to DELETE is ADD.
