IISRESET UI Module for IIS7 Manager

Overview

In IIS7 (atleast till RC0 release), you might find no UI way to restart IIS services (IISAdmin, WAS, W3SVC). Only way is by using the command line exe - the classic IISRESET.

Here is my UI module which give you a UI way to do this. This also shows the status of each IIS service running.

Features

Gives UI to stop / start / view the status of the IIS services.

Benefits

Just an UI way of doing it :-)

1. Download the IIS7IISRESETUI.dll.
