APPCMD vs ADSUTILs in IIS7

Try this:

@ECHO OFF
REM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
REM Check for and create VDir under Default Web Site
REM
REM %1 is the VDIR to create
REM %2 is the Physical path to the VDIR 
REM --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

IF "%1"=="" GOTO Syntax
IF "%2"=="" GOTO Syntax

ECHO Running...
ECHO   AppCmd.exe list vdir "Default Web Site/%1/"
ECHO.
AppCmd.exe list vdir "Default Web Site/%1/"
IF %errorlevel%==1 GOTO Exists

ECHO.
ECHO Running...
ECHO   AppCmd.exe ADD vdir /app.name:"Default Web Site/" /path:/%1 /physicalPath:%2
ECHO.
AppCmd.exe ADD vdir /app.name:"Default Web Site/" /path:/%1 /physicalPath:%2

GOTO End

:Exists
ECHO.
ECHO VDir already exists
ECHO.
GOTO End

:SYNTAX
ECHO.
ECHO VDir Name and Physical Path Required
ECHO.
ECHO CreateVDir.CMD ^<VDirName^> C:\PhysPath
ECHO.

:END

Hmm - this works:

appcmd.exe list site -id:2

This doesn't:

appcmd.exe stop site -id:2
