StopPool with remote location throws null exception

[punkster91]

Cake version = 0.30.0
Cake.IIS version = 0.4.1

When specifying a remote location for these functions I get a null exception.
DeletePool("127.0.0.1", "Test") - Fail
StopPool("localhost", "Test") - Fail

The functions work if you don't use the remote-location at all.
DeletePool( "Test") - Success
StopPool("Test") - Success

Error:

Error: System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I had to downgrade to these versions to use the remote-location successfully
Cake version = 0.22.0
Cake.IIS version = 0.3.1

same here

from here it seems that the IIS nuget package is not compatible with remote usage.

I think the NuGet package was only released for IIS Administration REST API,
https://github.com/Microsoft/IIS.Administration
Thus, the NuGet version is internally different from the version shipped with Windows.
