Optional Parameters

-AtElement

Specifies the element at which this cmdlet inserts the value.

Type: Hashtable
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-AtIndex

Specifies the index at which this cmdlet inserts the property.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-AtName

Specifies the property name at which this cmdlet inserts the property.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName, ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Clr

Specifies the version of the .NET Framework in the form vn.n, such as v4.0 or v2.0. The default is v4.0. Specify this parameter only when the PSPath parameter is set to either Machine or Machine/Webroot. If PSPath is not set to one of these values and the Clr parameter is set, Windows PowerShell ignores the value of Clr and returns a warning.

Type: String
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: cf

-Force

Forces the property to be written. If a lock exists, the property is written at a level in the configuration above the lock.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Location

Specifies the location of the configuration property setting. Location tags are frequently used for configuration settings that must be set more precisely than per application or per virtual directory. For example, a setting for a particular file or directory could use a location tag. Location tags are also used if a particular section is locked. In such an instance, the configuration system would have to use a location tag in one of the parent configuration files.

Type: String[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-PSPath

Specifies the configuration path. This path can be either an IIS configuration path in the format computer name/webroot/apphost, or the IIS module path in the format IIS:\sites\Default Web Site.

Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
