Restart IIS from remote computer

I need a way to restart IIS from a remote client computer. The computer does
not have Remote Desktop, so the user cannot access the server to run
IISRESET. Also, their Windows XP computers are not able to install the IIS
administration toolkit. Any ideas for sending a querystring or even setting
up a little web app to do nothing but restart IIS?

Thanks for the help and hand-holding because I'm not a ASP.NET programmer,
Tom

Well, I did find TaskKill which looks promising, but I will have to provide
the user our domain user/pwd to issue the command remotely. Has anyone
written a little web app to perform this same task, or at least call IISRESET
or a DOS command from an ASP.NET page.

Call
> iisreset.exe \\computer_name
or
> sc.exe \\computer_name stop w3svc
> sc.exe \\computer_name start w3svc

What I use to restart IIS, is that I have Apache running on the same
machine as IIS, with a hidden page, running the php script

<?php
echo shell_exec('iisreset');
?>

So if IIS goes down, I can go to this page, and IIS reboots.
