Creating an IIS 6.0 Application Pool using Powershell

Question 1

How do I create an Application Pool on IIS 6.0 using a PowerShell script?

This is what I have come up with so far …

$appPool = [wmiclass] "root\MicrosoftIISv2:IIsApplicationPool"

1 2	$appPool = [wmiclass] "root\MicrosoftIISv2:IIsApplicationPool"

Thanks

Question 2

It isn’t the most obvious process, but here is what worked for me..

$AppPoolSettings = [wmiclass]'root\MicrosoftIISv2:IISApplicationPoolSetting'
$NewPool = $AppPoolSettings.CreateInstance()
$NewPool.Name = 'W3SVC/AppPools/MyAppPool'
$Result = $NewPool.Put()

$AppPoolSettings = [wmiclass]'root\MicrosoftIISv2:IISApplicationPoolSetting'

$NewPool = $AppPoolSettings.CreateInstance()

$NewPool.Name = 'W3SVC/AppPools/MyAppPool'

$Result = $NewPool.Put()

You might get an error with the call to Put(), but calling it a second (or third) time should make it work. This is due to an issue with PowerShell V1 and WMI.
