IIS Restart Using Command Prompt

To restart IIS using the IISReset command-line utility

• From the Start menu, click Run.
• In the Open box, type cmd, and click OK.
• At the command prompt, type
  
  iisreset /noforce and press ENTER.
  
  
  
  
  
• IIS attempts to stop all services before restarting. The IISReset command-line utility waits up to one minute for all services to stop. If the services cannot be stopped within one minute, all IIS services are terminated, and IIS restarts.
