You can modify the configuration settings of a specific web site or application using the Set-WebConfiguration cmdlet.

In your case you'll have to set the value of the <pages validateRequest="true" /> attribute to false:

Set-WebConfiguration "//system.web/pages/@validateRequest" IIS:\Sites\MyWebSite -Value $false

You should just change registry setting, so this code should do the trick for you:

Set-ItemProperty -path HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\ASP.NET -name VerificationCompatibility -Value 1

Changing that setting will affect the entire server and not just a specific web site or application. – Enrico Campidoglio Mar 09 '12 at 11:36
