Start, Stop IIS6 sites programmatically with wmi

Hi,

I'm looking for help with starting and stop sites using WMI and C#. So far
I've been able to connect to IIS6 on a remote server, create the site and
directories etc. but the sites are stopped by default.

Any code examples would be appreciated

thanks

Re: Start, Stop IIS6 sites programmatically with wmi

Hi,

I don't have a complete code sample, but i think this may help (it may
have some errors, i don't have any reference in front of me right now):

ManagementObject webSite = new ManagementObject(...);

// Check if the website is stopped or paused
if ((int)webSite["ServerState"] == 4 || (int)webSite["ServerState"] == 6)
{
webSite.InvokeMethod("Start", null);

}


To stop the website, it should be if i remembers correctly:

webSite.InvokeMethod("Stop", null);

Great! I am glad to hear that you got it working.

Good luck with the rest of the code, and you know where we are if you need
help. :-)
