Detailed Description

Although it's possible to create a Windows PowerShell virtual directory, we recommend that you only do so at the request of Microsoft Customer Service and Support.

You need to be assigned permissions before you can run this cmdlet. Although all parameters for this cmdlet are listed in this topic, you may not have access to some parameters if they're not included in the permissions assigned to you. To see what permissions you need, see the "PowerShell virtual directories" entry in the Exchange and Shell Infrastructure Permissions topic.

Parameters

Parameter	Required	Type	Description
Name	Required	System.String	The Name parameter specifies the name of the new Windows PowerShell virtual directory. The name you provide will have the name of the website it's created under appended to it. If the name you provide contains spaces, enclose the name in quotation marks (").
AppPoolId	Optional	System.String	The AppPoolId parameter specifies the pool of programs that can be used with the Windows PowerShell virtual directory.
BasicAuthentication	Optional	System.Boolean	The BasicAuthentication parameter specifies whether Basic authentication is enabled on the Windows PowerShell virtual directory. The valid values are `$true` and `$false`. The default value is `$true`.
CertificateAuthentication	Optional	System.Boolean	The CertificateAuthentication parameter specifies whether certificate authentication is enabled on the Windows PowerShell virtual directory. The valid values are `$true` and `$false`. The default value is `$false`.
Confirm	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The Confirm switch causes the command to pause processing and requires you to acknowledge what the command will do before processing continues. You don't have to specify a value with the Confirm switch.
DomainController	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Fqdn	The DomainController parameter specifies the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the domain controller that writes this configuration change to Active Directory.
ExternalUrl	Optional	System.Uri	The ExternalUrl parameter specifies the external URL that the Windows PowerShell virtual directory points to.
InternalUrl	Optional	System.Uri	The InternalUrl parameter specifies the internal URL that the Windows PowerShell virtual directory points to.
LimitMaximumMemory	Optional	System.Boolean	The LimitMaximumMemory parameter specifies whether to limit the amount of memory used by the application pool in the Windows PowerShell virtual directory. If this parameter is set to `$true`, the amount of memory made available to the application pool is limited to 70 percent of the total physical memory in the server. If this parameter is set to `$false`, the amount of memory isn't limited. The default value is `$false`.
Path	Optional	System.String	The Path parameter specifies the directory that contains the system files for the Windows PowerShell virtual directory.
RequireSSL	Optional	System.Boolean	The RequireSSL parameter specifies whether the Windows PowerShell virtual directory should require that the client connection be made using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). The valid values are `$true` and `$false`. The default value is `$true`.
Role	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.VirtualDirectoryRole	The Role parameter species the configuration that should be used when the virtual directory is created. The following are the values that can be used with this parameter: `FrontEnd` Configure the virtual directory for use on a Client Access server. `BackEnd` Configure the virtual directory for use on a Mailbox server.
Server	Optional	Microsoft.Exchange.Configuration.Tasks.ServerIdParameter	The Server parameter specifies the Exchange server name on which the new Windows PowerShell virtual directory should be created.
WebSiteName	Optional	System.String	The WebSiteName parameter specifies the name of the IIS website under which the Windows PowerShell virtual directory is created.
WhatIf	Optional	System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter	The WhatIf switch instructs the command to simulate the actions that it would take on the object. By using the WhatIf switch, you can view what changes would occur without having to apply any of those changes. You don't have to specify a value with the WhatIf switch.
WindowsAuthentication	Optional	System.Boolean	The WindowsAuthentication parameter specifies whether Integrated Windows authentication is enabled on the Windows PowerShell virtual directory. The valid values are `$true` and `$false`. The default value is `$true`.
