IIS output caching setting using PowerShell

Question

I have been trying to find a way to configure the IIS 'outputcaching' setting. I have been looking around and having really had anything that works. I am basically trying to set output caching for an extension .pdf and the setting "until changed".

I've tried this code:

Set-WebConfigurationProperty -pspath 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/Default Web 
Site' -Filter "system.webServer/caching/profiles/add[@extension='.pdf']" -
Name "kernelCachePolicy" -Value "CacheUntilChange"

but that gave me the following error:

WARNING: Target configuration object 'system.webServer/caching/profiles/add[@extension='.pdf'] is not found at path 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/Default Web Site'.

Thank you ArcSet that I didn't get the error message but it did not add the rule for ouput caching. — NIK_77, Commented Aug 15, 2017 at 17:14

Try using Add-WebConfigurationProperty

Add-WebConfigurationProperty Will add a property that isn't there.

Set-WebConfigurationProperty Changes the value of a property that already exists

Thanks ArcSet but the system will not yet allow me to upvote for being a new member. I tried using the Add-WebConfigurationProperty but this does not seem to do anything. I used the same code as I had above just changed set to add.

Just an update, I created a value using the IIS GUI and then tried changing with Set-WebConfigurationProperty and it did work so I'm not sure what is not letting me add a property.

Has anyone else had any problems trying to use Add-WebconfigurationProperty?

No error but when I check the output caching in IIS there is nothing added there.

Really stuck on this one I can fully change the value using Set-weconfigurationProperty, but when you add-configurationproperty the command goes through and nothing is added. Has anyone else had a issue like this?
