I posted this on my GeeksWithBlogs blog a while ago (3 years)... I've gotten a few questions about it recently, so I figured I'd post it here and see if it's helpful.
Ever wondered how to reset IIS on a remote (local network) machine?
Pop open the command prompt, and type:
iisreset <machine_name>
That's all.
You must be an administrator of the remote machine (on the same domain) or have the same credentials as an administrator on the machine (not on the same domain) for this to work.

My day job is working in the IT department for a school district. It's an environment where I need to automate a bunch of tasks, and the parameters of the tasks frequently change. I currently have the system set up so that it runs the tasks through a VB.Net console app, and it works. But, I have to recompile the app every time it changes. I needed something more flexible.
So, I found this article and example that essentially takes a text file that contains VB code, compiles it and runs it on the fly. I'm currently implementing it, and hope that it will streamline my processes greatly.
Here's the link to the article and code.
