We need to keep an IIS application pool alive as long as possible for long processing. The app pool in our std config has a 03:00AM restart in the array. I need to remove this. I can do it manually via the UI but it needs to be scripted.

I can see the the element with this code:

$pool = "IIS:\AppPools\my_app_pool"
Get-ItemProperty -Path $pool -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule.collection

That returns:

value          : 03:00:00
Attributes     : {value}
ChildElements  : {}
ElementTagName : add
Methods        : 
Schema         : Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationElementSchema

I can set the element (if I wanted to change it) with:

Set-ItemProperty -Path $pool -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule.collection -Value @{value = '06:00:00'}

But I want to delete it completely so there are no elements in the array.

I've tried:

$ArrList = @()

Set-ItemProperty -Path $pool -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule.collection -Value $ArrList

and variations of it, and NULL, but not able to kill the array or make it empty.

I am out of ideas for the moment. Any help appreciated.

Thanks.

  • Can't replicate your envrionment, but what about piping the Get-ItemProperty to `Get-Member` and see if there is a `.Delete()` method? – LotPings Dec 10 '18 at 12:22

This did it

remove-ItemProperty $pool -Name recycling.periodicrestart.schedule.collection
