Question

I’m looking for a way to go through all binding settings already configured in my IIS.

Im using this to work with the IIS in Powershell:

Import-Module WebAdministration

So far I was able to get the main required information i want:

$Websites = Get-ChildItem IIS:\Sites

My array $Websites is filled correctly and with the following command…

$Websites[2]

..I recieve this result:

Name         ID   State    Physical Path       Bindings    
----         --   -----    -------------       --------------     
WebPage3      5            D:\Web\Page3        http  *:80:WebPage3  
                                               https *:443:WebPage3

Now here’s the part I having a hard time with:

I want to check if the binding is correct. In order to do that I only need the binding. I tried:

foreach ($site in $Websites)
{
    $site = $Websites[0]
    $site | select-string "http"
}

Debugging that code shows me that $Site doesn’t contain what I expected: “Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationElement”. I currently have no clue how to explicitly get to the binding information in order to to something like this (inside the foreach loop):

 if ($site.name -eq "WebPage3" -and $site.Port -eq "80") {
    #website is ok    
 } 
 else {
    #remove all current binding
    #add correct binding
 }

Thank you for your help!

Solution:

Import-Module WebAdministration
$Websites = Get-ChildItem IIS:\Sites
foreach ($Site in $Websites) {

    $Binding = $Site.bindings
    [string]$BindingInfo = $Binding.Collection
    [string]$IP = $BindingInfo.SubString($BindingInfo.IndexOf(" "),$BindingInfo.IndexOf(":")-$BindingInfo.IndexOf(" "))         
    [string]$Port = $BindingInfo.SubString($BindingInfo.IndexOf(":")+1,$BindingInfo.LastIndexOf(":")-$BindingInfo.IndexOf(":")-1) 

    Write-Host "Binding info for" $Site.name " - IP:"$IP", Port:"$Port

    if ($Site.enabledProtocols -eq "http") {
        #DO CHECKS HERE     
    }
    elseif($site.enabledProtocols -eq "https") {
        #DO CHECKS HERE
    }
}

I don’t know exactly what you are trying to do, but I will try. I see that you reference $Websites[2] which is webPage3.
You can do it like this:

$site = $websites | Where-object { $_.Name -eq 'WebPage3' }

Then when you look at $site.Bindings, you will realize that you need the Collection member:

$site.bindings.Collection

On my machine this returns this:

protocol                       bindingInformation
--------                       ------------------
http                           *:80:
net.tcp                        808:*
net.pipe                       *
net.msmq                       localhost
msmq.formatname                localhost
https                          *:443:

And the test might then look like this:

$is80 = [bool]($site.bindings.Collection | ? { $_.bindingInformation -eq '*:80:' })
if ($is80) {
    #website is ok    
} else {
    #remove all current binding
    #add correct binding
 }

I sent content of Collection to pipeline and filtere only objects where property bindingInformation is equal to desired value (change it). Then I cast it to [bool]. This will return $true if there is desired item, $false otherwise.
