appcmd disable idle timeout error

Question

I try to disable the app pool timeout with the following command:

%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:applicationPools /[name='OPS Apps - v4.0 Integrated x86'].processModel.idleTimeout:0.00:00:00

but it crap out with error:

Failed to process input: The parameter 'v4.0' must begin with a / or - (HRESULT= 80070057).

in this case, it's searching by the app pool name, is it caused by the space in the app pool?

Answer 1

Meanwhile you could try with the specific apppool syntax:

AppCmd.exe set apppool "OPS Apps - v4.0 Integrated x86" /processModel.idleTimeout:00:00:00

And all the supported properties are:

>AppCmd.exe set apppool "OPS Apps - v4.0 Integrated x86" /?
