How to get IIS application info via WMI

Question

How would I get the actual directory path of an IIS application (virtual folder) using WMI?

Answer 1

Use Scriptomatic V2 tools to view more samples like that :

On Error Resume Next

Const wbemFlagReturnImmediately = &h10
Const wbemFlagForwardOnly = &h20

arrComputers = Array("*")
For Each strComputer In arrComputers
   WScript.Echo
   WScript.Echo "=========================================="
   WScript.Echo "Computer: " & strComputer
   WScript.Echo "=========================================="

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\" & strComputer & "\root\MicrosoftIISv2")
   Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("SELECT * FROM IIsWebVirtualDir_IIsWebVirtualDir", "WQL", _
                                          wbemFlagReturnImmediately + wbemFlagForwardOnly)

For Each objItem In colItems
      WScript.Echo "GroupComponent: " & objItem.GroupComponent
      WScript.Echo "PartComponent: " & objItem.PartComponent
      WScript.Echo
   Next
Next

Sure, it's 3 years old, but it's a nice little question. If the specification the solution must use .NET includes PowerShell, then this will do the trick. Someone may want to know some day:

$server = 'ServerName'
$query = "Select Path From IIsWebVirtualDirSetting WHERE Name = 'W3SVC/1/ROOT'"
Get-WmiObject -namespace "root/microsoftiisv2" -query $query -computername $server -authentication 6

The resulting object will contain one property named, "Path".
