OK. So you may have read somewhere about the little vbs script that lives in c:\windows\system32 called iisapp.vbs, and the fact that this script can be used to recycle app pools
When I first read about this, the first thing I had to work out was exactly which app pool I wanted to recycle. Turns out, for Sharepoint, this is very easily done. Simply open Central Administration, click on the Application Management tab and select Web Application List under the SharePoint Web Application Management heading. This will take you to the following screen, which basically outlines which app pools marry up to your Sharepoint urls. The following figure depicts the Web Application List, with IIS superimposed on top of it.
Now, recycling the app pool for my default Sharepoint web application is as simple as creating a batch file with the following statement:
cscript c:\windows\system32\iisapp.vbs /a “SharePoint – 80” /r
