Setting IIS config via appcmd.exe for Load User Profile

I am attempting to set the config setting for 'Load User Profile' to true via a powershell script using appcmd.exe. After reading through many documents I cannot figure out the correct syntax.

The app pool's name is like 'accountsmanagement.example.com' I have tried variations on the following but all error out:

c:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:applicationPools /accountsmanagement.example.com.processModel.loadUserProfile:true

How do I correctly set the Load User Profile to true via appcmd.exe?

If you want to purely use PowerShell you can use the following PowerShell command to change the 'Load User Profile' property of an application pool.

Import-Module WebAdministration

Set-ItemProperty "IIS:\AppPools\YourAppPoolName" -Name "processModel.loadUserProfile" -Value "False"

Instead of using appcmd.exe set config you can also use the following

appcmd.exe set apppool "App Pool name here" -processmodel.loaduserprofile:"true"

To show all values that can be set use

appcmd.exe set apppool "App Pool name here" /?

Try this with quotes.

c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:applicationPools "/[name='accountsmanagement.example.com'].processModel.loadUserProfile:false"
