When I go to the windows services window in Windows 7 (Start ==> Administrative Tool ==> Service), I can't find IIS Service listed! Am I missing something? I just want to restart the service. I have IIS Manager and can open it. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!

It's called World Wide Web Publishing Service, right down near the bottom of the list.

    That's really the only one? Seems `iisreset` just doesn't have the punch it used to. (I've had to reboot the OS in some cases to clean things up in these newer versions without `iisadmin`) Wait found it: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj635851.aspx `net stop was` apparently does something useful. –  Feb 28 '14 at 16:01

    Thanks, it helped me to find out Its service name which is `W3SVC`. I wanted to restart it using ansible. – M Faisal Hameed Dec 12 '19 at 14:44
