        name: Acme
        state: started
        port: 80
        ip: 127.0.0.1

    - name: Remove Default Web Site
      win_iis_website:
        name: "Default Web Site"
        state: absent

    # Some commandline examples:

    # This return information about an existing host
    # $ ansible -i vagrant-inventory -m win_iis_website -a "name='Default Web Site'" window
    # host | success >> {
    #     "changed": false,
    #     "site": {
    #         "ApplicationPool": "DefaultAppPool",
    #         "Bindings": [
    #             "*:80:"
    #         ],
    #         "ID": 1,
    #         "Name": "Default Web Site",
    #         "PhysicalPath": "%SystemDrive%\\inetpub\\wwwroot",
