Parameters
| Parameter name and (short form) | Value | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
url |
A valid URL name, such as http://server_name |
Yes |
The name of the Web application. |
ownerlogin |
A valid Windows user name that must be qualified with a domain name, for example, domain\name |
Yes |
The site owner's user account. |
owneremail |
A valid e-mail address, in the form someone@example.com |
Yes |
The site owner's e-mail address. |
exclusivelyusentlm |
<none> |
No |
Specifies to exclusively use NTLM authentication instead of Negotiate (Kerberos). Kerberos requires the application pool account to be a network service and to be configured by the domain administrator. NTLM authentication works with any application pool account and the default domain configuration. |
ownername |
A valid display name, such as "John Smith" |
No |
The display name of the Web application owner. |
databaseuser (du) |
A valid user name, such as domain\username |
No |
The administrator user name for the Microsoft SQL Server database. |
databaseserver (ds) |
A valid database server, such as "DS" |
No |
The server on which to create the content database. The default value is the local computer name. |
databasename (dn) |
A valid database name, such as "DN" |
No |
The name of the SQL Server database used for Windows SharePoint Services data. |
databasepassword (dp) |
A valid password that adheres to your business policy |
No |
The password that corresponds to the administrator user name for the SQL Server database. |
lcid |
A valid locale ID, such as "1033" for English |
No |
The local language ID. Note You must specify this parameter when using a non-English template. |
sitetemplate (st) |
Valid values available in a default installation include:
|
No |
Specifies the type of template to be used by the newly created site. The value must be in the form name#configuration. If you do not specify the configuration, configuration 0 is the default (for example, STS#0). The list of available templates can be customized to include templates you create. |
donotcreatesite |
<none> |
No |
If this parameter is present, no corresponding site collection will be created for the Web application. |
description |
A valid text string, such as "This is a description" |
No |
Description of the site collection. |
sethostheader |
<none> |
No |
Works in conjunction with the url parameter. When a new Web application is created, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 looks at the URL value that is specified using the url parameter. Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 only uses the port number to create a new IIS Web site. However, the host name portion of the URL is ignored and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 does not create a host header binding for the IIS Web site. To create a Web application with an IIS Web site that includes a host header binding, use the sethostheader parameter. This enables Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 to use the host name portion of URL and create an IIS Web site that also includes the host name from the URL as a host header binding. |
apidname |
A valid application pool name, such as "Test1" |
No |
The application pool ID. The application pool defines the account and credentials that are used by the Web application. |
apidtype |
One of the following types:
|
No |
The identity type to use for the application pool. Note You cannot use the same application pool that you used for Windows SharePoint Services 2.0. |
apidlogin (apl) |
A valid user name in the form domain\username |
No |
The user name to use for running processes in the application pool. This parameter must be a Windows user name, and must be qualified with a domain name. |
apidpwd |
A valid Windows password to the application pool |
No |
The password that is used in conjunction with the apidlogin parameter. |
allowanonymous |
<none> |
No |
Specifies the default state for anonymous access during virtual server provisioning. By default this setting is off, regardless of the current IIS setting. The administrator needs to explicitly turn on anonymous access. IIS anonymous access must be on for pluggable authentication. Anonymous requests must make it through IIS to get to the ASP.NET authentication system. There is no anonymous access choice when provisioning with forms-based authentication. Note Allowing anonymous access in IIS does not automatically make all Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 sites anonymously accessible. There is Web-level anonymous access control as well, which is also off by default. However, disabling anonymous access in IIS does disable anonymous access to all Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 sites on the Web application because IIS rejects the request before code even runs. |
