I am trying to restore a database on a regular basis. Is there a way to stop and start the IIS server using a command prompt. I want to schedule this event. Thanks for the help in advance. Irene
You can also use: NET STOP "World Wide Web Publishing Service" and then NET START "World Wide Web Publishing Service" or NET STOP "W3SVC" and then NET START "W3SVC"
Hi Irene, Here's the method that I follow whenever I need to restart IIS. Open a new text file from notepad. type the following commands in the text file
net stop w3svc net stop iisadmin net start iisadmin net start w3svc
Save the file as RestartIIS.bat on to your desktop. whenever you want to restart your IIS...just double click the RestartIIS.bat on ur desktop. bingo.....
iisreset.exe is the best choice since it's built especially for this purpose... iisreset /start iisreset /stop iisreset /restart If you're create a kind of windows service which automatically performs this task, consider to use the built-in classes of the .NET
Framework (i.e. the ServiceController class) to stop/start the IIS services. Little question... Why do you want to restart IIS on a regular basis? If you need to do this, it's better to look for the real reason why this is needed (for example, misconfiguration).
If it's a problem of recycling worker processes etc, take a look at IIS 6 which is shipped in Windows Server 2003. By using IIS 6, you don't need to restart IIS anymore for this simple tasks, since you can configure IIS to recycle etc the processes itself.

I know it's old school, but if you turn this into a .bat file and schedule it to run, you can restart IIS and SQL server + SQL Agent everynight:
@echo off
REM - File: iisrestart.bat
echo Restarting IIS...
echo ======================================================
net stop W3SVC
net start W3SVC
echo ======================================================
echo IIS Restarted
echo Restarting SQL...
echo ======================================================
net stop "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)"
net stop MSSQLSERVER
net start MSSQLSERVER
net start "SQL Server Agent (MSSQLSERVER)"
echo ======================================================
echo SQL Restarted

Open Command prompt with Run as Administrator and use the below command
iisreset
this command stops and after Start the IIS, for this you can create a .bat file and add Create a task in Task scheduler.
