Re: IISRESET

Hello Gary,

Thank you for your update.

> What is the default setting of IISRESET?

If you run "IISRESET" without other parameters on a command prompt, the
default behavior if no options are specified is to stop and restart the Web
services on the local computer.

The syntax for using Iisreset.exe is as follows:
IISRESET [computer name] [/option] [/option] [(and so on)]

Iisreset.exe supports the following command-line parameters:

/RESTART
This option stops, and then restarts all running Internet services.

/START
This will start all Internet services that are set to autostart.

/STOP
This will stop all running Internet services.

/REBOOT
This parameter will restart the computer.

/REBOOTONERROR
This restarts the computer only when an error occurs when trying to start,
stop, or restart the Internet services.

/NOFORCE
Do not shut down Internet services on failure to stop them gracefully.

/TIMEOUT:val
This allows you to specify the timeout value in seconds waiting for a
successful stop of Internet services. On expiration of this timeout, the
computer can be restarted if the /REBOOTONERROR parameter is specified. The
default value is 20 seconds for restart, 60 seconds for stop.

/STATUS
This displays the status of all Internet services.

/ENABLE
This enables the Restart API for Internet services.

/DISABLE
This will disable the Restart API for Internet services.

Examples:

The following command will attempt to restart all running Web services and
reboot the computer if the command is not successful for any reason:
IISRESET /RESTART /REBOOTONERROR

This following will attempt to restart all running Web services, yet if
either the stop or restart commands are not successful within two minutes,
the computer will restart:
IISRESET /RESTART /TIMEOUT:120 /REBOOTONERROR


I hope this helps. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not
hesitate to let me know. I am always happy to be of further assistance.
