The term 'appcmd' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Question

I\'m getting the following error message:

The term \'appcmd\' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. C

Answer 1

Appcmd.exe exists at the location %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\. You either need to udpate your PATH variable to add the path %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\ like

SET PATH=%PATH%;%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\

or you can use Set-Location to first go to the location of Appcmd.exe like

Set-Location %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\

and then run you command.
