  Re: Using appcmd with arguments with spaces in them Reply Contact appcmd.exe set config  -section:system.applicationHost /sites /[name="Default Web Site"].[path='/'].applicationPool:"Test App Pool"  /commit:apphost   returns:   ERROR ( message:Cannot find requested collection element. )    If I change Default Web Site to another site without spaces say Tester it works fine.  I'll keep trying a few things and hopefully nut it out, otherwise I'll just use the site's id.    Update:   I was putting my double quotes around just the name not the whole parameter and it works fine now.  Thanks for your help.
