WMI IIS 6.0 Custom HttpError (Powershell)

Question

please can someone look over this and tell me what I am doing wrong? I am trying to modifiy the Custom Error message property's in an IIS website using powershell and wmi... This is what I have come up with.

    $Server = "localhost" 
    $Wmi = Get-WmiObject -Class IIsWebServerSetting -Namespace "root\microsoftiisv2" -ComputerName $server -filter "ServerComment = 'SharePoint - SP80'" -Authentication 6
    $CustomHttpError = $wmi | Foreach-Object { $_.HttpErrors | ? {$_.HttpErrorCode -contains "400"} | Select HttpErrorCode, HttpErrorSubcode, HandlerType,HandlerLocation;}
    $CustomHttpError.HandlerLocation('C:\WINDOWS\help\iisHelp\common\Custom.htm')

I get the Error message "Method invocation failed because [Selected.System.Management.ManagementBaseObject] doesn't contain a method named 'HandlerLocation' "

When I use Get-Member to inspect $CustomHttpError I get the following.

TypeName: Selected.System.Management.ManagementBaseObject

Name MemberType Definition
---- ---------- ----------
Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode()
GetType Method type GetType()
ToString Method string ToString()
HandlerLocation NoteProperty System.String HandlerLocation=C:\WINDOWS\help\iisHelp\common\400.htm HandlerType NoteProperty System.String HandlerType=FILE
HttpErrorCode NoteProperty System.String HttpErrorCode=400
HttpErrorSubcode NoteProperty System.String HttpErrorSubcode=*

How do I modify the HandlerLocation Property if it is not a method I can invoke?

Try:

$Server = "localhost" 
$Wmi = Get-WmiObject -Class IIsWebServerSetting -Namespace "root\microsoftiisv2" -ComputerName $server -filter "ServerComment = 'SharePoint - SP80'" -Authentication 6

#Get httperrors array
$HttpErrors = $wmi.HttpErrors
#Changing 400 error pages
$HttpErrors | % { if ($_.HttpErrorCode -eq "400") { $_.HandlerLocation = "C:\WINDOWS\help\iisHelp\common\Custom.htm" } }

#Set updated httpserros property
$wmi.HttpErrors = $HttpErrors
#Save object
$wmi.Put()
