Examples

Example 1: Convert a virtual directory to a web application

IIS:\> Md $Env:systemdrive\inetpub\Contoso 
IIS:\> New-WebVirtualDirectory -Site "Default Web Site" -Name "ContosoVDir" -PhysicalPath "$Env:systemdrive\inetpub\Contoso" 
IIS:\> ConvertTo-WebApplication -PSPath "IIS:\Sites\Default Web Site\ContosoVDir"
