I have two windows boxes. one is windows xp(local computer) where i need to write a batch file and the other is windows server 2003 where my IIS is located. Now i need to write a batch file in windows Xp that needs to do these below mentioned operations in it.

  1. Stop the IIS or my application pool on that IIS.

  2. Start the IIS or my application pool on that IIS.

    These stop and start need to be performed in two different lines. The windows Server 2003 box has a different user id and password to my windows xp(local computer). As i am new to writing the batch files, after my one day of struggle i am just able to kill the process of my application pool(w3wp.exe) on IIS which is located in the windows server 2003 and i am still not sure what i have written is correct or not. Please help me how to stop and start the IIS which is on server 2003 box, as the batch file should be on the xp box. Thanks in advance for your help.

    finally after a long struggle i made it work by “starting and stopping the iis from remote box with different id and password”. I have initially tried runas command which didn’t work and then i moved on to ps tools and used this below mentioned commands.

    psexec \COMPUTER_NAME -u USERID -p PASSWORD iisreset.exe /START —-> for starting the iis
    psexec \COMPUTER_NAME -u USERID -p PASSWORD iisreset.exe /STOP —-> for stoping the iis

    @djhayman — Thanks for your help man.
