ASP.NET Configuration Through Command Prompt

You must have used asp.net configuration for setting up roles and users. A couple of days back I was working on visual studio 2013 and I didn’t find the option to open asp.net configuration. I searched on the web and found a way to open asp.net configuration using command prompt and I want to share it with you.

There are 2 steps that you need to execute

Step 1

Search IISExpress.exe in your system. I got it at following location c:\program file (X86)\IISExpress (as I have 64-bit system)
Open command prompt
Execute following command

iisexpress.exe /path:c:\windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\ASP.NETWebAdminFiles /vpath:"/asp.netwebadminfiles" /port:8089 /clr:4.0 /ntlm

Parameter	Description
Path	The physical path of the application to run.
Port	The port number that application is using.
Clr	.net framework version.
NTLM	NT LAN Manager for authentication.

Once you execute the preceding command you see the following

Step 2

IISExpress is now running. The next step is to enter following URL

http://localhost:8089/asp.netwebadminfiles/default.aspx?applicationPhysicalPath=[Application  Path]\SpellCheck\&applicationUrl=/

Here [Application_Path] is the physical path of the application. Once you press enter you can see asp.net configuration.
