<mkiisdir>

[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]

Creates or modifies a virtual directory of a web site hosted on Internet Information Server.

If the virtual directory does not exist it is created, and if it already exists it is modified. Only the IIS-properties specified will be set. If set by other means (e.g. the Management Console), the unspecified properties retain their current value, otherwise they are inherited from the parent.

For a list of optional parameters see IIsWebVirtualDir.

More information on metabase parameters is available here.
