The IIsWebDirectory object is used to set metabase properties that apply to one or more Web directories for a Web server. When you use the IIsWebDirectory object to set metabase properties for a Web directory, inheritable properties will apply to all subdirectories and files.
You can also use IIsWebDirectory methods to create and manage Web applications in Web directories and subdirectories. Applications can also be defined and managed in virtual directories by using IIsWebVirtualDir.
The IIsWebDirectory object is an ADSI container object.
where MachineName can be any name or "LocalHost."
