I simplified a bit the Powershell code (applicable to an app, too, of course) in order to remove the need for the SPSite. Here it is: [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint") function Change-Path([string] $WebAppUrl, [string] $NewPath) { if ([String]::IsNullOrEmpty($WebAppUrl) -or [String]::IsNullOrEmpty($NewPath)) { write-host "Usage: Change-Path Web_path_URL New_Physical_Path" return } $di = new-object System.IO.DirectoryInfo $NewPath if ($di.Exists -eq $false) { write-host "Path ", $NewPath, " does not exist" return } Write-Host "Moving ", $WebAppUrl, " to ", $NewPath $WebApp = [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebApplication]::Lookup($WebAppUrl) $IISSettings = $WebApp.IisSettings[[Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPUrlZone]::Default] $IISSettings.Path = $NewPath $WebApp.Update() } Thanks a lot, you saved my day, too.

I would like to add a comment and a question: 1) Step 2 can be a bit more complex than simply changing the local path. (See Microsoft TechNet http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/a59a2665-9078-43ef-8b5a-5bf9bcacc95e.mspx?mfr=true) 2) Since I am an administrator, not a developer, is there a way to accomplish step 3 without writing code? For example, do you if there are stsadm commands that can be used to do this? Thanks for this helpful overview! I would like to add a comment and a question:
