Recycle App Pool Using MSDeploy

Reply Contact

Is it possible to recycle an app pool on a remote machine using MSDeploy? If so, what is the syntax for such a command? We are using IIS 6, but syntax for IIS 7 would also be appreciated if there are differences between the two.

Hi,

Thanks for the post!!

Here is the command

using WMSVC

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:recycleApp -dest:recycleApp="Default Web Site",wmsvc="ComputerName",recycleMode="StopAppPool",authType="basic",userName="userName",password="password" -allowUntrusted=true

using Agent:

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:recycleApp -dest:recycleApp="Default Web Site",computerName="ComputerName",recycleMode="StopAppPool",authType="basic",userName="userName",password="password" -allowUntrusted=true

Please post if you have any other questions!

Thanks,

Samarjeet: Thanks for the quick response. We are still using the MSDeploy beta version. Will the syntax you provided work with the beta or will we need to use the RTW version?

I beleive MSDeploy team started supporting recycleApp provider in RTW release, so you need to use RTW version. The GUI in inetmgr also supports recycling of sites, applications and folders locally as well as remotely (but again the GUI will not work with IIS 6, its only for IIS 7.0 and above).

Let me know if you face any issues.

Thanks,

Thanks Samarjeet. After I read your reply I received errors and discovered that the "recycleApp" provider is not supported for IIS 6. Is there a way to recycle an app pool in IIS 6 using MSDeploy?

I believe you are using the first command which I provided. If you look its using wmsvc which does not exist on IIS 6.0. Can you please try the second command and make sure remote agent service is started?

If you didnt use the first command or got errors with the second command, Can you please post the exact command you used?

Thanks,

Here is the command we are using (with placeholders where appropriate):

msdeploy.exe -verb:sync -source:recycleApp -dest:recycleApp="MY_APP_POOL",computerName="http://{SERVER}:{PORT}",recycleMode="StopAppPool",authType="basic",userName="{userName}",password="{password}" -allowUntrusted=true

I am also a little confused because the Web Deploy Online Help states that "The recycleApp provider is not supported on IIS 6.0 or earlier versions of IIS."

Thanks.
