Are the properties in Power Shell FTP module(WebAdministration) Case-Sensitive?

Question

PowerShell is case insensitive language and so are the modules like WebAdministration expected to be.

This doesn't work:

PS IIS:\AppPools> Set-ItemProperty .\DefaultAppPool -Name Enable32BitAppOnWin64 -Value $true

Whereas this works:

PS IIS:\AppPools> Set-ItemProperty .\DefaultAppPool -Name enable32BitAppOnWin64 -Value $true

Difference is only in capital and small letter 'e' in property name. Moreover, the first command doesn't even throw any error.

Can anyone explain this behaviour?

Answer 1

This is probably a bug since the behaviour differs for different Windows versions (e. g. for Windows 10, the first letter must be lowercase whereas for Windows 7 not).

There is also a related question on SO.

Untouchability

yeah, seems like a bug. First i doesn't do what its expected to and second it doesn't give out any errors. – Precinct
