User PowerShell to get IIS Recycling Time For Remote Server

Question

I'm trying to create a script to audit the IIS recycling times on a number of remote servers. The script I'm attempting is:

$scriptBlock = {
import-module webadministration
Get-itemproperty -Path IIS:\AppPools\WebPage -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule.collection}
invoke-command -computername HOSTNAME -ScriptBlock $scriptBlock

Unfortunately, this is returning absolutely nothing. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Answer 1

You are not doing anything wrong, assuming you want to query the "DefaultAppPool," what you are doing will return empty if there is no value in the collection:

Get-ItemProperty -Path IIS:\AppPools\DefaultAppPool -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule.collection

Set it with:

Set-ItemProperty -Path IIS:\AppPools\DefaultAppPool -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule -Value @{value = '03:00:00'}

And then try to get it, you will see the value.
