setting default doc in IIS through installscript

[ekaet1]

Guys,
Any ideas on how to set a virtual directory's default document through installscript?

Thanks

Try this vbscript:

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject _
    ("winmgmts:{authenticationLevel=pktPrivacy}\\" _
        & strComputer & "\root\microsoftiisv2")

Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from IIsWebServiceSetting")

For Each objItem in colItems
    strDocs = objItem.DefaultDoc
    objItem.DefaultDoc = strDocs & ",index.htm"
    objItem.DefaultDocFooter = "FILE:c:\config\footer.htm"
    objItem.EnableDefaultDoc = True
    objItem.EnableDocFooter = True
    objItem.Put_
Next

Ancient thread I know but it's nice to have an answer for anyone searching for this question still...

For IIS 7 and 8 you need the metabase compatibility (Windows feature) installed to use these II6 metabase properties.

function UpdateDefaultDocSettings(virtualDirName)
OBJECT objIIS_Root, objVirtualDir;
begin
try
// Get the root IIS folder.
set objIIS_Root = CoGetObject("IIS://localhost/W3SVC/1/Root", "");
set objVirtualDir = objIIS_Root.GetObject("IISWebVirtualDir", virtualDirName);
if (IsObject(objIIS_Root) && IsObject(objVirtualDir)) then
// Update the virtual directory.
objVirtualDir.Put("DefaultDoc", "Login.aspx,Default.aspx");
objVirtualDir.SetInfo();
endif;
catch
// Show an error.
endcatch;
end;
