Disable directory browsing in IIS 6 with Script

Question

I'm trying to write a script to disable directory browsing on ALL directories /virtual directories and on an IIS website.

I've tried using ADSI in PowerShell but am having a hard time understanding how to enumerate current directories and not sure how to change the property on Directory Browsing to false.

You need to mess around with webconfig if it's in IIS – Hamed Al-Khabaz Jan 04 '13 at 16:37 — Hamed Al-Khabaz, Jan 04 '13 at 16:37

$iis = [ADSI]"IIS://$ComputerName/W3SVC/1/ROOT"

# list directories
$iis.Children | select name,@{n='DirBrowsingEnabled';e={$_.psbase.InvokeGet('EnableDirBrowsing')}}

# disable directory browsing on all directories
$iis.Children | where {!$_.psbase.InvokeGet('EnableDirBrowsing')} | foreach {
    $_.put('EnableDirBrowsing',$false)
    $_.psbase.CommitChanges()
}
