  Re: New-WebSite error Reply Contact Shay, could you check status of your site using command "get-webitemstate path_to_site"? I think that Windows Activation Service (WAS) doesn't work on you machine. On output Powershell tries to get status of this object to fill column State, and seems that this fails. Or, you may try run command "dir iis:\sites". If you see no error and all sites show non-empty status field, it may be some problem with change notification, when site is created, it takes some time while WAS picks up status of this site. Please give me more details on this failure. --Sergei

  Re: New-WebSite error Reply Contact This is the timing issue I mentioned in my earlier post. WAS needs more time to pick new site or pool and start it, therefore (depending on your system) you could see this error, it is produced by output routine. Both site and pool are succesfully created, but State field of their PS representation needs runtime object that wasn't created by WAS yet. I will fix this by next update of the provider. Thanks, Sergei

  Re: New-WebSite error Reply Contact Sergei, I run the following 5 commands in a row, notice that the second command has no output while the fifth shows that the site exists and running. Thanks for the update on the WAS issue.
