Ofcourse it will only work when run from the commandline when logged on a Administrator, as the webserver doesn't have permission to read/write the IIS meta-database, which kindof kills my idea for a quick-and-easy setup of a large number virtual hosts where the setup is all the same. However $iis->stop does not work. It seems even from the command line I cannot write to the meta-database. Regards, David
