we have a particular application under a virtual directory that is used for administatrive purposes. In order to protect the application, we have IP filtering enabled where we specify a list of allowed IPs that can connect.
Manually setting this up the first time is fine, however the way our deployment tools work; they always uninstall and then reinstall any programs that require updating. Which means I lose my settings each time and have to re-enter.
Since my list of IPs is easily 15-20, I woudl like to automate this via a script — Powershell, VBScript, whatever.
I'm not sure there is an API or another way this can be set. Any help would be appreciated.
