-Location <String[]>

The location of the configuration setting. Location tags are frequently used for configuration settings that must be set more precisely than per application or per virtual directory. For example, a setting for a particular file or directory could use a location tag. Location tags are also used if a particular section is locked. In such an instance, the configuration system would have to use a location tag in one of the parent configuration files.

Examples

EXAMPLE 1: Return the Default Documents for the Default Web Site

C:\PS>Get-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter //defaultDocument/files/add -PSPath 'IIS:\Sites\Default Web Site'  -Name value | select value

Returns a list of the default documents associated with the Default Web Site.

Default.htm
Default.asp
Index.htm
Index.html
Iisstart.htm
Default.aspx

EXAMPLE 2: Show handlers mapped to ASPNET_ISAPI.DLL

C:\PS>Get-WebConfigurationProperty //handlers 'IIS:\sites\Default Web Site' -Property Collection[scriptProcessor="*aspnet_isapi.dll"] | select path,name

Demonstrates how to get the handlers mapped to aspnet_isapi.dll.

EXAMPLE 3: List default documents using globbing

IIS:\>Get-WebConfigurationProperty -Filter //defaultDocument/files -PSPath 'IIS:\Sites\Default Web Site'  -Property Collection[value="index*"]

This command returns all default documents that start with the string "index". The example uses globbing (wildcard expansion) to achieve this.
