    Write-Error -Message "Site not found!"
}
else
{
    #Get the application pool object
    $applicationPool = Get-Item -Path "IIS:\AppPools\$($site.applicationPool)"


    #region custom account (comment out for built-in account)
        #Get the credentials to use for this application pool
        $applicationPoolAccount = Get-Credential
        #Set application pool properties for the service account
        $applicationPool | Set-ItemProperty -Name processModel.identityType -Value SpecificUser
        $applicationPool | Set-ItemProperty -Name processModel.userName -Value $applicationPoolAccount.UserName
        $applicationPool | Set-ItemProperty -Name processModel.password -Value $applicationPoolAccount.GetNetworkCredential().Password
