IISReset command line options

[Ron Y]

Hi,

A quick question about the ciisreset command.

KB202013 http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;202013
mentions that "The default behavior if no options are specified is to stop
and restart the Web services on the local computer." and with the
"/restart" option for "stops, and then restarts all running Internet
services."

I don't understand the difference. Is there a different to run IISReset
without any option and with the "/restart" option?

Thanks

I would read the difference as being that without parameters, just the
W3SVC is restarted. Whereas with the /restart switch, *all* IIS
services (IISAdmin, SMTPSVC, FTPSVC, W3SVC, etc) are done.

Thanks Steve.

I tried and compared the event logs, it seem both restart at least iisadmin,
smtp, w3src and Exchange Information Store.

In which case, it sounds like there probably is no difference.
