Clear-IISConfigCollection |
Clears an IIS configuration collection.
Clear-IISConfigCollection [-ConfigCollection] <ConfigurationElementCollection> [-WhatIf] [-Confirm]
[<CommonParameters>]
The Clear-IISConfigCollection cmdlet clears a given Internet Information Services (IIS) collection by removing all the elements and putting a clear tag, which is generally <clear>. This prevents from the collection to inherit collection elements from higher levels, if any.
Example 1: Clear the defaultDocument settings for Default Web Site, which inherits from Server level and defined in applicationHost.config.
PS C:\> Get-IISConfigSection -SectionPath "system.webServer/defaultDocument" -CommitPath "Default Web Site" | Get-IISConfigCollection -CollectionName "files" | Clear-IISConfigCollection -Confirm:$False
This command adds lines in web.config which is the configuration file of Default Web Site.
Specifies the ConfigurationCollection object for which the collection elements will be cleared. If a ConfigurationCollection is previously obtained and assigned to a variable, you cannot pass it to this cmdlet through the pipeline because the pipeline engine will try to enumerate, passing ConfigurationElement objects instead. Try either passing the whole Get-IISConfigCollection cmdlet into the pipeline or use it as a parameter for correct results.
