Jump to: navigation, search 


%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config "<SITENAME>" -section:system.webServer/aspNetCore /+"environmentVariables.[name='ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT',value='<VARIABLEVALUE>']" /commit:site

in TFS just write 

set config "<SITENAME>" -section:system.webServer/aspNetCore /+"environmentVariables.[name='ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT',value='<VARIABLEVALUE>']" /commit:site


The commit parameter can be set to one of the following:

  • (omitted) — default; write configuration at the level for which it is set
  • url — same as default; write configuration at the level for which it is set
  • site — write configuration in the Web.config at the site root of the url for which it is set
  • app — write configuration in the Web.config at the app root of the url for which it is set
  • apphost — write configuration at the server level, in the applicationHost.config file
  • <PATH> — write configuration at the specified config path

Batch File

set arg1=%1
set arg2=%2
%systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config "%arg1%" -section:system.webServer/aspNetCore /+"environmentVariables.[name='ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT',value='%arg2%']" /commit:site

it gets 2 arguements. SiteName and Environment

in TFS if we add "Batch Script" Task in release, we can set it like this :

  • Path : D:\web\Scripts\EnvSet.bat
  • Arguments : CDTestSite Live
