Restart iis on remote machine ( we have ip address ) by c# code

Hello How can restart iis on a remote machine? I know the ip address and admin user's user name and password information.

From stackoverflow

• How remote is remote? You could just execute Shutdown.exe from your c# code? If that's not possible (firewalls etc) then the next best would probably be putting a service on there that you could call remotely (and securely!) that shuts the machine down.

• You could use the "sc" command in order to control the iis-service on the remote machine.

  sc \\RemoteServer stop [iis-service-name]
  

  Use

  sc help
  

  in order to get a list of possible arguments.

  Also take a look at a microsoft kb-article on your subject.

• I think shutdown.exe closes the computer but only I want is to restart the iis. I will restart a remote machine which is on the same network. And I know the ip address and user credential information.

  and how can I call sc command from c#?

• You could use sc, as Thomas Franke suggested:

  sc \\RemoteServer stop iisadmin
  sc \\RemoteServer start w3svc
  

  or SysInternals' psexec. The PsTools suite is useful for these scenarios.

  psexec \\RemoteServer iisreset

          ProcessStartInfo remoteAdmin =
             new ProcessStartInfo("c:\\Windows\\System32\\sc.exe", "\\\\" + computerName + " stop iisadmin");
          remoteAdmin.UserName = "adminuser";
          remoteAdmin.Password = pwd;
          remoteAdmin.Domain = domain;
          myProcess.StartInfo = remoteAdmin;
          myProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
          myProcess.Start();
          myProcess.WaitForExit();
  

  Matthew Talbert : How does it not work? Are there error codes? Have you tried running the command manually to make sure there isn't something else wrong?
