I want to retrieve information regarding specific IIS 7 website using the PowerShell Get-Website cmdlet. Unfortunately, Get-Website returns information for all websites regardless of the -Name parameter I pass in. It appears that the -Name parameter is ignored.
For instance, if I use:
Import-Module WebAdministration
Get-Website -Name "Test Website"
I will receive information for all websites on my machine:
Name ID State Physical Path Bindings
---- -- ----- ------------- --------
Default Web Site 1 Started %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot http *:80:
net.tcp 808:*
net.pipe *
net.msmq localhost
msmq.formatname localhost
Test Website 2 Started C:\websites\test http *:80:test.mydomain.com
According to the documentation Get-Website should return information for the website specified in the -Name parameter. I must be misunderstanding the documentation or misusing the cmdlet, or both.
How should I use Get-Website to return information for a specific website?

iex is an alias for Invoke-Expression . Here the two backticks don't make any difference, but just obfuscates the command a little. iex executes a string as an expression, even from pipe. Here Start-Process is a cmdlet that starts processes.
The Get-Member cmdlet gets the members, the properties and methods, of objects. To specify the object, use the InputObject parameter or pipe an object to Get-Member . To get information about static members, the members of the class, not of the instance, use the Static parameter.
To get the properties of an object, use the Get-Member cmdlet. For example, to get the properties of a FileInfo object, use the Get-ChildItem cmdlet to get the FileInfo object that represents a file. Then, use a pipeline operator ( | ) to send the FileInfo object to Get-Member .
The While statement in PowerShell is used to create a loop that runs a command or a set of commands if the condition evaluates to true. It checks the condition before executing the script block. As long as the condition is true, PowerShell will execute the script block until the condition results in false.
According to this forum post, this is a bug in the Get-Website cmdlet. The workaround until this is addressed is to use Get-Item.
$website = "Test"
Get-Item "IIS:\sites\$website"
Be sure to use double quotes, variables are not expanded when single quotes are used.

I realize it's an older post but I ran into this issue recently and found your question. I've had luck with the following syntax too:
get-website | where { $_.Name -eq 'foobar' }
