We are using Jenkins as our Continous Integration Server. One of our project requires restarting IIS website on other Server. We can use "cd %windir%\system32\inetsrv appcmd stop site /site.name:xyz" appcmd start site /site.name:xyz" to restart xyz site from the same server.

We are unable to CD to network path using CD. I tried with Powershell, and I can cd to network location. I have tried Stop-Site, which doesn't works. I want powershell script or batch file, which can help me to restart IIS website on other server.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You can restart it with iisreset. Just run command prompt like admin and run it:

    I want to use iisreset on other machine. This can work only on same server. I want to use iisreset from server 1 to server 2 – writerrajiv May 05 '16 at 14:29

    You can use iisreset with other machine too. Only use iisreset , change with another server. – Mattew Developer May 05 '16 at 14:33

    IIS Reset is working that way, but it will be great, if I can only stop 1 site on other server. – writerrajiv May 06 '16 at 14:22
  • does not this command require a username and password? `invoke-command -computername $serverName {cd C:\Windows\System32\; ./cmd.exe /c "iisreset /noforce /RESTART" }` I have this script and is working on same machine but on remote. – Extreme Jun 01 '20 at 13:47

Finally, I did it with powershell coding and functions CI_IIS_Reset.exe STARTWEBSITE servername sitename username password
