powershell - The term 'appcmd' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet

Question

I'm getting the following error message:

The term 'appcmd' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At line:1 char:7

Answer 1

Appcmd.exe exists at the location %systemroot%system32inetsrv. You either need to update your PATH variable to add the path %systemroot%system32inetsrv like

SET PATH=%PATH%;%systemroot%system32inetsrv

or you can use Set-Location to first go to the location of Appcmd.exe like

Set-Location %systemroot%system32inetsrv

and then run you command.

OR you can use the following:

c:windowssystem32inetsrvappcmd.exe
