Use PowerShell to stop 'Default Web Site' in IIS6

powershell iis-6

Check the serverState property. A value of 2 means running and a value of 3 means stopped, you can set them this way:

start the website

$site.serverState = 2

$site.setInfo()

$site.serverState = 3

$site.setInfo()

powershell iis-6

powershell iis-6
