I am attempting to set the config setting for 'Load User Profile' to true via a powershell script using appcmd.exe. After reading through many documents I cannot figure out the correct syntax.

The app pool's name is like 'accountsmanagement.example.com' I have tried variations on the following but all error out:

c:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:applicationPools /accountsmanagement.example.com.processModel.loadUserProfile:true

How do I correctly set the Load User Profile to true via appcmd.exe?

Import-Module WebAdministration
