Is there a way to make my local AppCmd.exe to refer to a remote server?

Question

I need to remotely administrate IIS via command-line. Is there a way to make my local AppCmd.exe refer to a remote server? So that every command I pass to AppCmd.exe would be executed in another machine?

You can download PSEXEC and run the following command:

psexec \\servername c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd

For example

psexec \\servername c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd list wp

I don't think you can directly use appcmd for remote management. But IIS 7 has a PowerShell provider for remote management, check this article.

Only if you're using Shared Configuration, but I don't think that's your intent.

Otherwise it's PSEXEC, remote Powershell, or similar.
