You can use adsutil.vbs to do this easily in one line. It should be in
c:\inetpub\adminscripts

Cheers

Hi,

Just as Ken stated, you can use adsutil.vbs utility to set path for virtual
directory. For example:

cscript adsutil.vbs set w3svc/1/root/virtualdirectory/path
"c:\inetpub\vdir1"

1 here is the site ID of Default Web Site which can be viewed in the right
panel by clicking Web Sites folder in IIS6. You may also open and view IIS
metabase via the Metabase Explorer tool which will give you a clear
understanding of IIS structured config data. It's included in IIS6 resource
kit tools:

Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 Resource Kit Tools
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&familyid=56fc
92ee-a71a-4c73-b628-ade629c89499

If you want to write your own script to do this, it's also quite simple
enough. Below is a sample using ADSI:

strComputer = "LocalHost"
Set objIIS = GetObject("IIS://" & strComputer &
"/W3SVC/1/ROOT/VirtualDirectory")

objIIS.Path = "C:\Inetpub\vdir1"
objIIS.SetInfo


Feel free to update here if you have any further question.

Have a great week.

Sincerely,

WenJun Zhang
