Change the IISReset Timeout Value

  1. On the Web server, open a command prompt. To do this, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK.
  2. At the command prompt, type IISRESET /TIMEOUT:val, where val is a numeric value that is measured in seconds. The following screen shot from the command prompt provides more information: 
    /TIMEOUT:val        Specify the timeout value (in seconds) to wait for
                    a successful stop of Internet services. On expiration
                    of this timeout the computer can be rebooted if
                    the /REBOOTONERROR parameter is specified.
                    The default value is 20s for restart, 60s for stop,
                    and 0s for reboot.
    An example of what you can expect to see in the command prompt window is as follows: 
    C:\>iisreset /timeout:45

Attempting stop...
Internet services successfully stopped
Attempting start...
Internet services successfully restarted

C:\>
    NOTE: To view a complete listing of the parameters that can be used with IISReset, type IISRESET /? at the command prompt.

  3. Type Exit to close the command prompt window.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.
