CreateIISBindingOntoSite "DAP1Site1" 80 "www.DAP1Site2.com" "http"

However I want to generate and usa a IPv6 IP address. My new DNS Managment service allows me to use IPv6 addresses and host names.

Do I need to auto-generate IPv6 IP address first?
How do I auto-generate a IPv6 IP address? (by code)

note: I use IIS 7.5

thanks!

Answer 1

My advice would be to throw away that old script. If you’re using IIS7.5 then you’ll have the WebAdministration PowerShell module available to you:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee909471(WS.10).aspx

To load this do:

Import-Module WebAdministration

Have a look at the New-WebBinding command:

New-WebBinding (Web Server (IIS) Administration Cmdlets in Windows PowerShell)

You can find out more about these CmdLet’s here:

With regard to IPv6 addresses you can’t just magically make one up. You’ll either be allocated a public IP address from your pool or you need to use a Unique Local IPv6 Unicast Address (which is synonymous with RFC1918 private IPv4 addresses).
