Get-IISConfigCollection
Gets a configuration collection object from an IIS configuration section or a configuration element.
Syntax
Default (Default)
Get-IISConfigCollection
[-ConfigElement] <ConfigurationElement>
[[-CollectionName] <String>]
[<CommonParameters>]
Description
The Get-IISConfigCollection cmdlet gets a ConfigurationCollection object from either a ConfigurationSection or a ConfigurationElement.
It is advisable to not to assign this value to a parameter and pass it in the pipeline to the next cmdlet since Windows PowerShell cannot interpret this object. This is due to the fact that ConfigurationCollection implements IEnumerable and the pipeline processor enumerates each single element when used this way. Instead either pass the whole Get-IISConfigCollection cmdlet in the pipeline or pass it as a parameter.
Examples
Example 1: Get a configuration collection from an IIS configuration element
PS C:\> Get-IISConfigSection -SectionPath "system.webServer/defaultDocument" | Get-IISConfigCollection -CollectionName "files"
Attributes : {value}
ChildElements : {}
ElementTagName : add
IsLocallyStored : True
Methods :
RawAttributes : {[value, Default.htm]}
Schema : Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElementSchema
Attributes : {value}
ChildElements : {}
ElementTagName : add
IsLocallyStored : True
Methods :
RawAttributes : {[value, Default.asp]}
Schema : Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElementSchema
This command gets the Files Collection for the system.webServer/defaultDocument section.
Example 2: Get a configuration element from an IIS configuration section
PS C:\> Get-IISConfigSection -SectionPath "system.webServer/defaultDocument" | Get-IISConfigElement -ChildElementName "files" | Get-IISConfigCollection
Attributes : {value}
ChildElements : {}
ElementTagName : add
IsLocallyStored : True
Methods :
RawAttributes : {[value, Default.htm]}
Schema : Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElementSchema
Attributes : {value}
ChildElements : {}
ElementTagName : add
IsLocallyStored : True
Methods :
RawAttributes : {[value, Default.asp]}
Schema : Microsoft.Web.Administration.ConfigurationElementSchema
This command gets the Files Element configuration object from the system.webServer/defaultDocument section then gets its default collection. The output of the two formats are the same.
Parameters
-CollectionName
Specifies the name of the collection to be returned. If the name of the collection is not used, the Default Collection is returned. Alternatively, the named collection can be retrieved by Get-IISConfigElement then the default collection inside this element can be retrieved.
