Setting a website's application pool in IIS using Powershell - iis

I need a Powershell command that does the equivalent of adding a website in IIS, but need the bindings for the "Application pool":
So far I can add a website doing this:
New-Item iis:\Sites\swmarket -bindings #{protocol="http";bindingInformation="80:swmarket"} -physicalPath c:\inetpub\wwwroot
But I don't know how to set the "Application pool" in the new website. Any way to see all the bindings?

Set-ItemProperty iis:\Sites\swmarket -Name applicationpool -Value swmarket
Alternatively, with Powershell 3, you could do this:
New-WebAppPool -Name $WebSiteName
New-Website -Name $WebSiteName -ApplicationPool $WebSiteName -HostHeader $WebSiteName -PhysicalPath $PathInfo -Port 80
Set-Content $PathInfo\default.htm “PSCreated Default Page”

Runbook Run Powershell as azure acccount

I got a script on a VM within the subscription/rg that runs a ps module called Qlik-Cli, it uses a certificate and a login.
The certificate is stored in the local store for the serviceaccount, not a choise, how the product works.
I need to trigger this thorgh a powershell runbook.
In order for this to work, I need to trigger this with the service account, cause it won't find the certificate otherwise.
This is something we are going to schedule so it has to be done this way.
How can I run it this way, or is it not possible?
I can't find any good option when googeling it.
> Import-Module -Name Qlik-Cli
> [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol =
> [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12 $logpath =
> "E:\Tools\Scripts\log.txt" get-childitem cert:\currentuser\My\ |
> where {$_.Thumbprint -eq '"thumbprint"'} |
> Connect-Qlik "DNS" -UserName
> "user" -TrustAllCerts -verbose 4>&1 | Out-File
> -Append $logpath Start-QlikTask -id df9dfa2f-32ca-4db4-bdce-15ad924fd59f -verbose 4>&1 | Out-File -Append
> $logpath
The script in the runbook:
$ServicePrincipalConnection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name 'AzureRunAsConnection'
Add-AzAccount -ServicePrincipal -TenantId $ServicePrincipalConnection.TenantId -ApplicationId $ServicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId -CertificateThumbprint $ServicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint
$rgname ="Resource-Group"
$vmname ="Virtual machine name"
$ScriptToRun = "E:\Tools\Scripts\Tasktrigger.ps1"
Out-File -InputObject $ScriptToRun -FilePath ScriptToRun.ps1
Invoke-AzVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $rgname -Name $vmname -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath ScriptToRun.ps1
Remove-Item -Path ScriptToRun.ps1
What the logs says from the script (local script) when I execute the runbook is that it can't find the certificate which is not strange.
Raw output:
Found 0 certificates in the current user store
Found 0 certificates in the local machine store
No valid certificate found, using windows credentials
Used the code on Github for the module Click-Cli to backtrack the error message. Had to change certificate and imporrt the new one in personal / machine store.
Also the default username when running it from outside the QlikServer is domain\Servername$, which means you have to change permissions on the account in QlikSense to allow it to execute tasks.
You can see the name if you use verbose logging to file once you added the right certficate all the way.
The Qlik-CLI module, reads the client, QlikClient, certificate from cert:\\CurrentUser\My.
So, if you are trying to run Qlik-CLI scripts as a different user than the Qlik Sense service user account (or on another machine), you need to log in as the service account, export the QlikClient certificate, including the private key, and install it under the user running the script.
The -UserName argument is just to tell Qlik who you want to be, given that you have the certificate in order.
To cut it short: Run the script as the Qlik service user. It will save you a lot of hassle. :)

How to create Azure Automation runbook that will start VM and then execute (local or Azure) script on the VM?

I wan't to create a Runbook that will start a specific (or parameter controlled) VM, and then run a script (locally or from blob storage) on the VM.
I have checked a lot of documentation, but so far without luck in getting it to work.
What I got so far under the same Resource Group:
VM created
Automation account created incl. Run As account
Azure Automation solution (OMS)
Credential (to my own account) under the automation account
Used several Runbook galleries and other code examples using functions as e.g.
Start-AzureVM ...
Invoke-Command ...
Anyone of you good people out there who can sample a guideline on what is needed depending on methods being used?
The VM start part is working, but I cannot get the login + executing of script to work!
I'm not a high skilled developer, and I have even doubts about choosing between the script languages in Azure.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
Invoke-Command
Invoke-AzureRmVMRunCommand
Set-AzureRmVMCustomScriptExtension
New-SSHSession + Invoke-SSHCommand
Code taken from e.g. gallary "Connect-AzureVM"
the parameter -ScriptPath of Invoke-AzureRmVMRunCommand should not point to the path in the remote computer, but should point to the local path of runbook environment.
Sample code like below(create a file named atestfile.txt in the remote vm):
$ServicePrincipalConnection = Get-AutomationConnection -Name 'AzureRunAsConnection'
Add-AzureRmAccount `
-ServicePrincipal `
-TenantId $ServicePrincipalConnection.TenantId `
-ApplicationId $ServicePrincipalConnection.ApplicationId `
-CertificateThumbprint $ServicePrincipalConnection.CertificateThumbprint
#define resource group and vm name
$resourceGroup ="xxx"
$VmName ="xxx"
#define the scripts in $scriptblock, and add the content of $scriptblock to aa.ps1 in current directory of runbook
write-output "create test file"
$scriptblock = "New-Item -path c:\test -name atestfile.txt -itemtype file -force"
Out-File -FilePath aa.ps1 -InputObject $scriptblock
#Note that the -ScriptPath should not point to the remote path(in remote vm), it should point to the local path where you execute the command Invoke-AzureRmVMRunCommand
Invoke-AzureRmVMRunCommand -ResourceGroupName $resourceGroup -Name $VmName -CommandId 'RunPowerShellScript' -ScriptPath aa.ps1
#after execution, you can remove the file
Remove-Item -Path aa.ps1
write-output "done now"

add administrator in managed metadata service using powershell

I want to creating Managed Metadata Service using powershell.
powershell command is :
New-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Name $MetadataServiceName -AdministratorAccount "domain\SP_Crawl" -DatabaseServer $instanceName -DatabaseName $MetadataServiceDB -ApplicationPool $AppPool -SyndicationErrorReportEnabled
its working fine if in -AdministratorAccount i am adding single user i.e. "domain\SP_Crawl".
but i want to add multiple user as an administrator like "domain\SP_Crawl,domain\SP_Farm"
but its not working.
Please help me how can i set multiple user in -AdministratorAccount
Sorry its my mistake.
there is a space between "domain\SP_Crawl, domain\SP_Farm" that the reason its not working.
it should be like:
New-SPMetadataServiceApplication -Name $MetadataServiceName -AdministratorAccount "domain\SP_Crawl,domain\SP_Farm" -DatabaseServer $instanceName -DatabaseName $MetadataServiceDB -ApplicationPool $AppPool -SyndicationErrorReportEnabled

Create IIS website on remote server using PowerShell

I'm trying to create IIS website on a remote server from another server using powershell. When I execute it, the site has created in local server, not in the remote server.
This is the powershell function. It is in function.ps1 file.
function CreateIISWebsite
{
param (
[string]$iisAppName,
[string]$directoryPath,
[string]$iisAppPoolName,
[string]$rhost,
[string]$un,
[string]$pw
)
$MSDeployExe = "C:\Program Files\IIS\Microsoft Web Deploy V3\msdeploy.exe"
Import-Module WebAdministration
$iisAppPoolDotNetVersion = "v4.0"
#navigate to the app pools root
cd IIS:\AppPools\
#check if the app pool exists
if (Test-Path $iisAppPoolName -pathType container)
{
Remove-Item $iisAppPoolName -recurse
}
#create the app pool
$appPool = New-Item $iisAppPoolName
$appPool | Set-ItemProperty -Name "managedRuntimeVersion" -Value $iisAppPoolDotNetVersion
Set-ItemProperty IIS:\AppPools\$iisAppPoolName managedRuntimeVersion v4.0
Set-ItemProperty -Path IIS:\AppPools\$iisAppPoolName -Name processmodel.identityType -Value 3
Set-ItemProperty -Path IIS:\AppPools\$iisAppPoolName -Name processmodel.username -Value $un
Set-ItemProperty -Path IIS:\AppPools\$iisAppPoolName -Name processmodel.password -Value $pw
#navigate to the sites root
cd IIS:\Sites\
#check if the site exists
if (Test-Path $iisAppName -pathType container)
{
Remove-Item $iisAppName -recurse
}
#create the site
$iisApp = New-Item $iisAppName -bindings #{protocol="http";bindingInformation=":80:" + $iisAppName} -physicalPath $directoryPath
$iisApp | Set-ItemProperty -Name "applicationPool" -Value $iisAppPoolName
}
I call this function like this.
. ./function.ps1
CreateIISWebsite -iisAppName $sitename -directoryPath $path -iisAppPoolName $appPool -rhost $rhost -un $un -pw $pw
Even though i pass ip of the remote server as rhost i have no idea where i need to use it. So IIS site is creating in local successfully. Without using rhost parameter it won't create in server. So I need to use that parameter in correct place in the code.
I have installed Web Deploy in both servers.
Please suggest me a solution.
Configure PowerShell Remoting on the local and remote systems (use Enable-PSRemoting -Force, and then deploy the script to the remote computer by using Invoke-Command.
UPDATE
e.g.
On your local and remote systems write this in an elevated Powershell Command Prompt:
Enable-PSRemoting -Force
Remember also to Set-ExecutionPolicy (See here for more info) to something appropriate on the remote server if you have not already done so.
To invoke the powershell script on the remote machine from your local machine you can then do something like this:
Invoke-Command -ComputerName server01 -File c:\path\to\script.ps1

How to specify application pool identity user and password from PowerShell

I have been having lots of difficulty automating the setup of a Web application and configuring IIS appropriately with the Application Pool Identity. I am doing this in a Web application deployment script written in PowerShell. My requirement is that I need my PowerShell script to set the application pool identity user to a specific service account mydomain\svcuser and password. Here is the sample code:
$pool = New-Item "IIS:\AppPools\MyAppPool" -Force
$svcuser = "mydomain\svcuser"
$pool.processModel.userName = $svcuser
$password = "somepassword"
$pool.processModel.password = $password
$pool.processModel.identityType = 3
$pool | Set-Item -ErrorAction Stop
When I run this, everything appears to work correctly--no errors are thrown and the application identity user name appears in IIS--but for some reason the password does not get set correctly, if at all. Since it is a password I cannot verify whether it has been set, but I can conclude that it if it is, it is not set correctly. It will not authenticate the resulting application pool user until I manually go in and enter the password in IIS. As a result the application fails after being deployed to the Web server and requires manual intervention.
Am I missing something here?
You would do this as follows:
Import-Module WebAdministration
Set-ItemProperty IIS:\AppPools\app-pool-name -name processModel -value #{userName="user_name";password="password";identitytype=3}
See this document here for an explanation, and a reference of the indentity type numeric for the user type you will run the app pool under: http://www.iis.net/configreference/system.applicationhost/applicationpools/add/processmodel
After few experiments
Here is my Answer, I hope this will helps , I've worked on IIS 8.5
$credentials = (Get-Credential -Message "Please enter the Login credentials including Domain Name").GetNetworkCredential()
$userName = $credentials.Domain + '\' + $credentials.UserName
Set-ItemProperty IIS:\AppPools\$app_pool_name -name processModel.identityType -Value SpecificUser
Set-ItemProperty IIS:\AppPools\$app_pool_name -name processModel.userName -Value $username
Set-ItemProperty IIS:\AppPools\$app_pool_name -name processModel.password -Value $credentials.Password
seems you can do this a little more directly now
appcmd set apppool junkapp /processmodel.password:junkpassword
I'm on powershell v4 which doesn't have 'ConvertFrom-SecureString', in the end I got the following to work for me:
Import-Module WebAdministration
$cred = Get-Credential -Message "Please enter username and new password to reset IIS app pool password (for app pools running as username)"
$bstr = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::SecureStringToBSTR($cred.Password)
$plaintext = [System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal]::PtrToStringAuto($bstr)
$applicationPools = Get-ChildItem IIS:\AppPools | where { $_.processModel.userName -eq
$cred.UserName }
foreach($pool in $applicationPools)
{
$apppool = "IIS:\AppPools\" + $pool.Name
Set-ItemProperty $apppool -name processModel.password -Value $plaintext
}
Write-Host "Application pool passwords updated..." -ForegroundColor Magenta
Write-Host ""
Read-Host -Prompt "Press Enter to exit"
