Put this into a file with .bat extension.
@echo off
appcmd start sites "site1"
appcmd stop sites "site2"
Update
Just ensure that appcmd is available anywhere by adding %windir%\system32\inetsrv\ to the PATH environment variable of your system. Alternatively, you can use the full path to appcmd.exe in the batch file.

1It works now. @echo off %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd stop sites "site" – Eugene Jan 05 '12 at 15:36

Oh sorry, forgot to mention that. You can append `%windir%\system32\inetsrv\` to your `PATH` environment variable. – adarshr Jan 05 '12 at 15:38

7this also works with application pools, just change `sites` to `apppool` – Terry Kernan Feb 20 '14 at 11:45

appcmd needs high privileges to read file redirection.config: `Cannot read configuration file due to insufficient permissions` – Junior Mayhé Aug 05 '18 at 18:19
