IIsComputer.RestoreWithPassword (WMI)

  • Article

The RestoreWithPassword method restores the metabase from a backup that was created with BackupWithPassword. If the backup was encrypted with a password, use the same password in this method. The restore operation stops all services dependent on the IIS Admin service (including all servers) until the restore has completed; then it restarts all services.

      BackupLocation,
      BackupVersion,
      BackupFlags,
      Password
)

Parameters

    [in] Reserved. Must be zero.
