Retrieve Password of an App Pool identity account

(from the source https://amoghnatu.net/2015/01/15/get-password-for-iis-application-pool-account/)

• To retrieve password for an app pool identity account, open the command prompt in administrative mode.

• Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv directory. This is the location where appcmd.exe exists.

• Type the below command and press enter. appcmd.exe list apppool <<app_pool_name>> /text:*

• find user and pass in the output

Thanks. The /text:* has a lot of useful info like the username and account type which is what I needed.

Perfect - thanks.
I updated mine to:

@echo off
echo Get info of given app pool...
color a
set /p apppool= Which one ?
cd \
cd C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv
appcmd.exe list apppool %apppool% /text:* | find "userName"
appcmd.exe list apppool %apppool% /text:* | find "password"
PAUSE

Also note that this needs to be run as Admin.
