Script to Stop Application Pools on Windows

VB script to Stop Application Pools on Windows IIS 6

As  SysAdmin, We sometimes need to auto-stop some application pools in order to run a specific task like IIS logs cleanup.

This script will detect all application pools that are running and stop them.

=====================
myComputer = “.”
Set objWMIService = GetObject (“winmgmts:\\” & myComputer & “\root\microsoftiisv2”)
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery (“Select name from IISApplicationPoolSetting where AppPoolState = 2”)
For Each objItems In colItems
poolname=objItems.name
WScript.Echo poolname
AppPoolStop(poolname)
Next
Function AppPoolStop(PoolName)
set PoolcolItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery (“Select name from IISApplicationPool where name='” & poolname & “‘”)
For Each objItem In PoolcolItems
objitem.Stop
Next
End Function
===============
Enter that script in a text file, save it with extension “.vbs”. Copy it at C:\Windows\System32\
Run it manually or via a batch scheduler.
Thanks to Euk-marie. See the equivalent script by Euk-Marie to start the App Pool at https://www.eukhost.com/forums/f15/start-application-pool-simple-script-8937/
