Stopping IISADMIN and its dependent services
To stop all IIS-related services, type
NET STOP IISADMIN /Y at a command prompt. This will stop the IIS Admin Service and all dependent services. Below is an example of the output you will see after issuing this command (the dependent services listed on your computer may vary):
The following services are dependent on the IIS Admin Service service.
Stopping the IIS Admin Service service will also stop these services.
FTP Publishing Service
Microsoft NNTP Service
Microsoft SMTP Service
World Wide Web Publishing Service
You will then see a message displayed as each service is successfully stopped.
Starting the IIS-related services
Use the NET START command to restart the IIS-related services you use. For example, to restart the World Wide Web service, type
NET START W3SVC.
Determining service names
To determine the service names, start Registry Editor (type Regedit.exe or Regedt32.exe) and go to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
Under Services, the service name that works with the NET STOP and NET START commands is listed.
NOTE: For each service, there is also a DisplayName value, which is the name listed in the Services applet in Control Panel and in the messages displayed after the NET STOP and NET START commands are run. However, these Display Names cannot be used as a parameter with the NET STOP and NET START commands.
