Powershell command to set IIS logging settings

Question

I'm creating a powershell script so I can create website hosting with a single command using the IIS Powershell Management Console.

I have the commands I need to create the IIS Site and add bindings for the domain names etc...

The one piece of the puzzle I'm missing though is how to change the default Logging directory from %SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles to my own folder that's not on the boot drive of the server.

After extensive searching I expected to find a command along the lines of the following pseudo powershell

New-ItemProperty IIS:\Sites\MyNewSite -name logging -value @{format='W3C';directory='d:\sites\site\logs';encoding=UTF-8}

Please could you show me with an example how you change the logging folder in the IIS Powershell Management Console

Thanks in advance
