Value	Keyword	Description
0	Interactive	This logon type is intended for users who will be interactively using the computer.
1	Batch	This logon type is intended for batch servers, where processes may be executing on behalf of a user without their direct intervention. Credentials are not cached for this logon type.
2	Network	This logon type is intended for high performance servers to authenticate plaintext passwords. Credentials are not cached for this logon type.
3	ClearText	This logon type preserves the name and password in the authentication package, which allows the server to make connections to other network servers while impersonating the client.

' Connect to the WMI WebAdministration namespace.
Set oWebAdmin = GetObject("winmgmts:root\WebAdministration")
' Get the root virtual directory for the default Web site.
Set oVDir = oWebAdmin.Get(_ 
"VirtualDirectory.SiteName='Default Web Site',ApplicationPath='/',Path='/'")

' Set the physical path for the default Web site.
