I got the cmd below from the following post
Get Specific Recycling Time For IIS With PowerShell
Get-ItemProperty -Path IIS:AppPoolsDefaultAppPool -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule.collection
Which outputs
value : 04:14:00
Attributes : {value}
ChildElements : {}
ElementTagName : add
Methods :
Schema : Microsoft.IIs.PowerShell.Framework.ConfigurationElementSchema
However, it gives me the entire array when all i want is the 04:14:00 I’ve tried piping that to Select-Object -expandproperty with no luck
I’ve tried using Get-IISAppPool also which would be great for multiple servers, but again, I can’t figure out how to get simply the recycle time.
Ultimately I need to get the recycle time of about 10 app pools on hundreds of servers. The only real output I want is $servername, $apppoolname & $recycletime
Can anyone point me to how to get simply the recycle time?
I’ll probably do something like
$recycletime= Get-ItemProperty -Path IIS:AppPools$apppool -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule.collection <=== don't know how to solve for the time only
I can wrap it all in an invoke-command because I think I’ll need to import Webadministration tools on each node, but again, it’s getting only the Value that I can’t solve.
Any help appreciated.
Which version of IIS / Windows are you running? Strangely running your first query on IIS 10, Server 2022 doesn’t give me any output. However, tweaking the query slight
Import-Module WebAdministration
(Get-ItemProperty -Path IIS:\AppPoolsDefaultAppPool -Name recycling.periodicRestart | Select-Object -ExpandProperty time).toString()
Gives me that value in a usable way.
Note, it also works if you run :
Get-ItemProperty -Path IIS:\AppPoolsDefaultAppPool -Name recycling.periodicRestart | Select-Object time
where it outputs the heading, but if you add -ExpandProperty then you need to .toString() the entire thing, otherwise it outputs all the individual timespan elements, eg Days, Hours, Minutes etc, TotalDays, TotalHours etc.
— EDIT —
OK, so the above code retrieves the “Regular Time intervals in Minutes” value, but to retrieve the “Specific Times” value you need.
(Get-ItemProperty -Path IIS:AppPoolsDefaultAppPool -Name recycling.periodicRestart.schedule.collection).Value.ToString()
as with the above code you need to include .ToString() to just retrieve the time value not the individual time elements.
