No RA IIS 7 action to change settings in Application Pool - Release Automation

Products

• CA Release Automation - Release Operations Center (Nolio)
• CA Release Automation - DataManagement Server (Nolio)

Issue/Introduction

On IIS application pool settings there is a RA action to change the Identity "IIS - Edit Application Pool Identity" but what about other settings on the Application Pool? For example, how would I change the Application Pool parameter LoadUserProfile from "False" to "True"?

Environment

Release:
Component: RAROC

Resolution

If there are any actions you would like to perform within your IIS environment that are not included within the RA IIS action pack, the action pack has a catch all action included. This action is "IIS - Run Appcmd", which allows you to run commands with the built-in Microsoft AppCmd.exe tool which is used to manage IIS 7 and above. 

The Microsoft AppCmd.exe documentation linked below can be used to help construct the necessary commands to run for the actions you wish to perform.
