$WebAppName = 'My Azure RM WebApp Name'
$ClientAffinityEnabled = $false

# Property object for nested, not exposed directly properties
$WebAppPropertiesObject = @{"siteConfig" = @{"AlwaysOn" = $true}}

# Variables
$WebAppResourceType = 'microsoft.web/sites'

# Get the resource from Azure (consider adding sanity checks, e.g. is $webAppResource -eq $null)
$webAppResource = Get-AzureRmResource -ResourceType $WebAppResourceType -ResourceGroupName $ResourceGroupName -ResourceName $WebAppName

# Set a directly exposed property, in this case whether client affinity is enabled
$webAppResource.Properties.ClientAffinityEnabled = $ClientAffinityEnabled

# Pass the resource object into the cmdlet that saves the changes to Azure
$webAppResource | Set-AzureRmResource -PropertyObject $WebAppPropertiesObject -Force
