使用Azure Release Script上的powershell更新Web.config配置

Question

I'm running my Deployments on the Release Management(Currently Preview) tool in VSO. When you configure a new Release(with the new release management tool on VSO) you can add to the Flow a task named:Azure PowerShell(Run a PowerShell script within an Azure environment)

What i'm trying to do is to Make some changes to the web.config using the Get-WebApplication and then Set-WebConfigurationProperty.

the error i get from the Log is: Process should have elevated status to access IIS configuration data. ##[error]Cannot find a provider with the name 'WebAdministration'.

Is it even possible to run those kind of commands in there or do you i need to use another kind of command to update my web.config?

Answer 1

There is no Azure API to make arbitrary transforms to your web.config.

Instead, the way this is typically done is to use the deployment time transform engine (eg via Web.Debug.config or using Chained Config transforms ).

Answer 2

If you're trying to set the web.config of an Azure WebApp then you need to use the Set-AzureWebSite cmdlet or the Set-AzureRMWebApp cmdlet.

Which one you need to use depends on which Azure cmdlets are installed on the machine running the script. The hosted servers for RM may still have the 0.9.x cmdlets (which uses SetAzureWebSite). The Set-AzureRMWebApp cmdlet is in the 1.x cmdlets. Either will work to set the config, you just need to use the appropriate cmdlet for what's have installed.
