In this article, I will share with you my PowerShell script which I have been using to deploy an ASP.Net application I built (as SaaS) initially, which got a lot of requests to be deployed locally.

The application in question is ClicMedic (a medical software management) –> more details at www.clicmedic.com

My website will be available on port 1002

md "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\YOURSITE"
$site = $site = new-WebSite -name "YOURSITENAME" -Port 1002 -PhysicalPath "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\YOURSITE"  -force
