Hi,
You can probably find this functionality in the IIS Web Administration
(not installed by default, can be installed from Add/Remove Windows
Components). I do however not recommend this installed on a public
webserver.
Another way is to write custom code. Using WMI it should not be difficult
to restart the W3SVC Service. Examples to stop and start a service can be
found here:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/scripts/os/services/default.mspx
Note however that once you have stopped the W3SVC service, you cannot
invoke a start of the service from the webpage (since IIS will not
respond), so you need to start automatically.
I also did a quick search on support.microsoft.com and got this:
"IIS: How to Restart IIS Services by Using WSH with ADSI"
