Answer 1

An alternative solution to create a virtual directory in IIS 6.0 through scripting, which doesn't involve PowerShell, is to use the iisvdir.vbs script:

SET webSiteName=Test
SET virtualDirName=subdirectory/gadgets
SET virtualDirHomePath=C:\InetPub\Subdirectory\Gadgets

cscript %SystemRoot%\system32\iisvdir.vbs /create %webSiteName% %virtualDirName% %virtualDirHomePath%

Note that the virtual directory path in virtualDirName is specified using forward slashes.

You can also list the virtual directories in a specific path using the same iisvdir.vbs script:

cscript %SystemRoot%\system32\iisvdir.vbs /query %webSiteName%/%virtualDirName%
