Detailed Description

The Set-WebConfiguration cmdlet changes the value of an IIS configuration element. The element can be specified as a configuration section or an XPath query.

Parameters

-Clr<String>

Version of the .NET framework in the form vn.n, such as v4.0 or v2.0. The default is v4.0. This parameter is used only when PSPath is set to either Machine or Machine/Webroot. If PSPath is not set to one of these values and the Clr parameter is set, PowerShell ignores the value of Clr and returns a warning.

-Location<String[]>

The location of the configuration setting. Location tags are frequently used for configuration settings that must be set more precisely than per application or per virtual directory.

In such an instance, the configuration system would have to use a location tag in one of the parent configuration files.
