This script restarts IIS and configures it on a remote server. Needs Sysinternals PsExec (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx)

restart-iis-remote.bat

:: Stop IIS
PsExec.exe \\LDNSERV01  -s -i C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe stop site OnlineXCart

:: Recycle App Pool (removes lock on file system)
PsExec.exe \\LDNSERV01  -s -i C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe recycle apppool OnlineXCart

:: Wait 4 Seconds
:: This is useful if you have a command straight after that executes file operations on IIS App Directory
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 > nul

:: Modify IIS Physical Path Remotely
PsExec.exe \\LDNSERV01 -s -i C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config  -section:system.applicationHost/sites /[name='OnlineXCart'].[path='/'].[path='/'].physicalPath:"D:\websites\OnlineXCart\${WEBAPP_VERSION}\Main"  /commit:apphost

:: Start IIS
PsExec.exe \\LDNSERV01  -s -i C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe start site OnlineXCart

Note that the user executing this command should have (admin?) access on \LDNSERV01

Thanks @sdesalas, Used this in my Jenkins scripts here

It works fine, thank you!

Hi @sdesalas @agray,
Do you encounter any 404 problem while your ci server is deploying?
I used this code to close site and app pool. Then i copied files and started site and app pool

Our load balancer sends request to closed site and it gives 404 error.

How can i handle this? Do you have any suggestion? Do i need to change steps(site closing-app pool closing)?
