Powershell – get iis7 log directory within powershell

iis-7powershell

I am sure this is easy, but I can not find the answer. I am setting up a process to run a few tasks on the logging folder. Obviously I can manually create a variable with the log directory but this does change from machine to machine. I would like to be able to use some generic process.

What I have at the moment:

$iisLogDir = "D:\inetpub\Logs\LogFiles"
$now=get-date
$daysOld=31

get-childitem $iisLogDir -recurse | where { !$_.PSIsContainer -and ($_.lastWriteTime -le $now.addDays(-$daysOld)) } | remove-item -whatif

Thanks, These are 2008R2 machines.

You can use the IIS WebAdministration Module and the Get-WebConfigurationProperty cmdlet.

Import-Module WebAdministration
(Get-WebConfigurationProperty "/system.applicationHost/sites/siteDefaults" -name logfile.directory).Value

Powershell – DPM 2010 PowerShell Script to Easily Restore Multiple Files

Well, after much frustration and research, I have come up with a working script. For those that want to know how to do the same, the script below works well to restore any given file.

<#
Parameters: Folder Path, File to Restore, Deletion Date
Example Usage: 
.\RecoverFile.ps1 "ClientName\Folder\2010\02\03\" "mydoc.pdf" "2010-08-04 09:54:24.117" 
#>

$filePath = [IO.Path]::Combine("D:\ClientData\", $args[0] )
$fileName = $args[1]
$dateDeleted = Get-Date $args[2]

Write-Host "Restoring '" -NoNewLine
Write-Host $filePath -NoNewLine
Write-Host $fileName -NoNewLine
Write-Host "' which was deleted on '" -NoNewLine
Write-Host $dateDeleted -NoNewLine
Write-Host "'"

$recoveryDate = Get-Date $dateDeleted.AddDays(-1).ToShortDateString()
$pg = Get-ProtectionGroup -DPMServerName DPMSERVER01 | Where-Object {$_.FriendlyName -eq "Document Repository Data"} 
$ds = Get-Datasource $pg
$so = New-SearchOption -FromRecoveryPoint $recoveryDate.AddDays(-1).ToShortDateString() -ToRecoveryPoint $recoveryDate.ToShortDateString() -SearchDetail FilesFolders -SearchType exactMatch -Location $filePath -SearchString $fileName
$ri = Get-RecoverableItem -Datasource $ds -SearchOption $so
$ro = New-RecoveryOption -TargetServer CLIENTDATASERVER01 -RecoveryLocation OriginalServer -FileSystem -OverwriteType overwrite -RecoveryType Recover
$recoveryJob = Recover-RecoverableItem -RecoverableItem $ri -RecoveryOption $ro
#4.3 Wait till the recovery job completes
while (! $recoveryJob.hasCompleted )
{
    # Show a progress bar
    Write-Host "." -NoNewLine
    Start-Sleep 1
}
if($recoveryJob.Status -ne "Succeeded")
{
    Write-Host "Recovery failed" -ForeGroundColor Red
}
else
{
    Write-Host "Recovery successful" -ForeGroundColor Green
}

Powershell – Manipulating IIS7 Configuration with Powershell

Rather than using Clear-WebConfiguration, use Remove-WebConfigurationProperty instead:

Remove-WebConfigurationProperty -pspath 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST' -filter "system.applicationHost/applicationPools/add[@name='$($appPool.Name)']/recycling/periodicRestart/schedule" -name "."

This will add the <clear /> node inside <schedule>
