The IISRESET Utility and Switches
The iisreset.exe utility canbe used to manage the Web services running on any server providing that youhave the relevant permissions. It should be used in preference to the NET STOP and NET START commands, as itstops and starts the various integrated services in the correct sequence.
The syntax is iisreset [computer_name] /switch [ /switch ...]
Where the available switch values are:
| Switch | Meaning |
| RESTART | Stop and then restart all Internet services running on the specified computer. |
| START | Start all Internet services running on the specified computer. |
| STOP | Stop all Internet services running on the specified computer. |
| REBOOT | Reboot the specified computer. |
| REBOOTONERROR | Reboot the specified computer if an error occurs when starting, stopping, or restarting Internet services. |
| NOFORCE | Do not force Internet services to terminate if attempting to stop them gracefully fails. |
| TIMEOUT:val | Set the timeout value in seconds for all the Internet services to stop. Default is 20 for RESTART, 60 for STOP, and zero for REBOOT. If the REBOOTONERROR switch is also specified the computer will reboot if the timeout period is exceeded. |
| STATUS | Displays the status of all Internet services. |
| ENABLE | Enables restarting of Internet Services on the local system. |
| DISABLE | Disables restarting of Internet Services on the local system. |
This utility can be used in an CMD-type#echo SSI directive, providing that the page hasanonymous access removed and the user supplies details of a valid account thathas Administrator privileges on the targetserver. However, in this situation the REBOOT, START and RESTART optionswill not function correctly.
