The easiest way is to use a batch file to issue the appropriate NET STOP and NET START commands.

To determine the services involved, at a CMD prompt, type:

NET STOP IISADMIN /Y

This will stop the IIS Admin Service and all services dependent on it. You will see a message as each dependent service stops. Create a batch file that contains NET STOP IISADMIN /Y followed by a
NET START for each dependent service:

Service Name

Display Name

Iisadmin

     IIS Admin Service  

Msftpsvc

     FTP Publishing Service  

Nntpsvc

     Microsoft NNTP Service  

Smtpsvc

     Microsoft SMTP Service  

W3svc

     World Wide Web Publishing Service  

NOTE: Service Names can be located by browsing the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServices.
