  Restart IIS from antoher machine via iisreset Reply Contact Hi, i'm trying to restart iis7 (Windows Server 2008 Standard x64) from another machine using the following: iisreset [COMPUTERNAME] /restart My problem is, that it will always result in a "RPC server is not available" message. When i shutdown the Windows firewall, it works like a charm. Does anyone.know which firewall rule applies to that problem? tia, atze

Otherwise, iisreset will give you such an error message. Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

  Re: Restart IIS from antoher machine via iisreset Reply Contact I would like to correct my answer above. Actually this is a DCOM/RPC firewall configuration issue, so you can follow my blog post here, http://blogs.msdn.com/lexli/archive/2009/05/19/the-rpc-server-is-unavailable-for-iisreset.aspx Lex Li Support Engineer at Microsoft --------------------------- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
