SharePoint provides an option in Create New WebApplication page that says Restart IIS Automatically. This restarts IIS on all servers of the farm. What can I do to trigger this programmatically from my Application Page (ASP.NET)? Is there a timer job for this? Is there anything in the API? do I have to create "iisreset" process and pass it the name of servers? |

Hi there When you create a new web application a timer job is created to run seperatly on ALL servers, this timer job will perform the IISReset - It uses remoting to call into IIS - http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.runtime.remoting.channels.ipc.ipcclientchannel.aspx - however I find these kind of tasks easier using WMI. If you wanted to replicate this exact functionality then a timer job that is set to run on all servers independantly will be sufficient, my first port of call would be to take a look at the SPWebApplicationProvisioningJobDefinition using Reflector, this will show you exactly how they do it :) Stuart |
