I know I can restart all the websites on a server by typing IISRESET at the command line. And I know that in later versions of IIS I can stop and start a single application pool but I cant figure out how to do this on my WIndows 2003 server. Is there a way?

Find the identifier for the site you want to start/stop:

enter image description here

Then, in a command prompt:

cscript //nologo C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs start_server w3svc/IDENTIFIER
cscript //nologo C:\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs stop_server w3svc/IDENTIFIER

  • Try without the $ sign. Sorry, I didn't clarify that very well.

  • Thank you, success at last! The stop and go icons in the GUI work as well

  • Uuuhhh, yes, I didn't mention that because somehow I assumed you were looking for a way to do it from the command-line only. :-/

If the application has its own application pool, select the application pool and stop/start it from there. This can be done by going into the IIS Manager.
