If i run the following from the cmd prompt in windows, it works just fine:

C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config  
-section:system.webServer/handlers  
/[name=‘ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0’].verb:“GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE”  
/commit:apphost

I have a iis\_config resource block. Getting an error, indicating my syntax  
is incorrect. But note what the error says was run:

==\> default: Ran  
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config  
-section:system.webServer/handlers  
/[name=‘ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0’].verb:“GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE”  
/commit:apphost returned 4312

what gives?  
The provider uses cmd, and I am assuming that means, “just as if you were  
to open the cmd prompt in windows”

FYI I get a similar error when trying the above command while in a  
powershell prompt.

Full error below:

Kenneth,

What happens if you re-run the chef-client? Here's an old ticket that  
implies this may be a timing issue:

I like the idea. Honestly, I hadn't tried re-running it.  
First, I will move it to the last command,  
Then test, and re-run if neccessary.

Kenneth,

Have you looked up what 4312 return code is?

What error do you get with PowerShell?

Great questions.  
4312 is the error you get when appcmd can't find the sections of schema  
that your refereing to in your command.  
So, if you get everything correct, but fat fingered the "where" of it all,  
you get a 4312.  
I have not run with -l debug, I assumed the "Ran ....." line was  
sufficient, i'll debug and see if I get something different.

I'll have to test and see what error i get with Powershell, but I know part  
of the problem is that Powershell is unwrapping some of the quotations (as  
it will), so I get a "you didn't form the command properly" error.(I'm  
making that error verbage up) I believe it is something like "malformed  
indexer"
