Using PowerShell to set our websites to only use HTTPS

I ran this on one of my [ARR Servers] ([Application Request Routing]), which is in a [Shared-Configuration] with several others.
Once you update one, all get updated.
Since the ARR is the [Front-End], this is the only place we need to invoke this command.

$path = "G:\IIS_Config\applicationHost.config" [xml]$xml = Get-Content $path $globalRulesNode = $xml.SelectSingleNode("//system.webServer/rewrite/globalRules") # Create the HTTPS Force Rule $rule = $xml.CreateElement("rule") $rule.SetAttribute("name", "Global Force HTTPS") $rule.SetAttribute("stopProcessing", "true") # Match anything $match = $xml.CreateElement("match") $match.SetAttribute("url", "(.*)") $rule.AppendChild($match) | Out-Null # Condition: Check if HTTPS is OFF $conditions = $xml.CreateElement("conditions") $add = $xml.CreateElement("add") $add.SetAttribute("input", "{HTTPS}") $add.SetAttribute("pattern", "^OFF$") $conditions.AppendChild($add) | Out-Null $rule.AppendChild($conditions) | Out-Null # Action: Redirect to the https version of the host and path $action = $xml.CreateElement("action") $action.SetAttribute("type", "Redirect") $action.SetAttribute("url", "https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}") $action.SetAttribute("redirectType", "Permanent") $rule.AppendChild($action) | Out-Null # Add to Global Rules (Prepending so it runs first) $globalRulesNode.PrependChild($rule) | Out-Null $xml.Save($path) Write-Host "Success: Global HTTPS redirect added." -ForegroundColor Green
