IIS site and nant/nantcontrib?

is it possible to manage IIS web applications with NAnt? For example stop or start it?

Solution

  • Maybe you can use exec task to execute 

    iisreset -stop
iisreset -start

    EDIT : And this VBS might help for stopping/starting WebApplications under IIS

    Here is the accespted solution to stop a website with nant task on IIS :

    <target name="stopSite"> 
  <exec program="cscript.exe"> 
    <arg value="C:\windows\system32\iisweb.vbs" /> 
    <arg value="/stop" /> 
    <arg value="test" /> 
  </exec> 
</target>
