Thanks alot - that solved it!

I think it's a new thing that a web.config is needed for such an operation be that good or bad.

Since the configpath you are configuring is a file, we cannot create a web.config file under it. So, you need to add an appropriate commitpath to the appcmd command (-commitpath:apphost to commit to applicationhost.config or -commitpath:"Default Web Site" to commit to web.config for default-web-site).

Thanks for the reply.

The blog takes about redirecting an application but since the default.htm is not an application I not sure if I can use that approach.

Http Redirect from single file

When using the UI I am able to select a single file in the root of the default web site and make a Http Redirect to some folder/site.

I am trying to do this with appcmd but without luck. One try was this

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>appcmd set config "Default Web Site/default.htm" /section:httpRedirect /enabled:true /destination:http://www.contoso.com

Thanks in advance :)
