Yesterday I was working on some SharePoint development and noticed that my machine was running slower after doing a Solution retraction and I wanted to confirm that the IIS application pools were being recycled. I went to the command prompt and typed in IISAPP and it came back and gave me the below error.
'iisapp' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I was sort of taken back a little at first but then I thought they must of changed the name or something wasn't installed because of IIS7. So I did a quick search and found this blog post telling me that the script was no longer there but the following command can be used instead at the command line prompt.
%windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe list wp
Personally that's a lot to remember but I guess something is better than nothing.
Cheers,
Michael

This weekend I needed to build a new VPC image that had Windows Server 2008 and SharePoint 2007 Enterprise and I wanted to slip stream the service packs for SharePoint but I never did it before. I didn't know how hard it was going to be and with my great surprise it was actually pretty easy because I used the 2 articles below as guides on getting everything done. I must say things have been a lot easier with SharePoint 2007 version when doing things outside of your comfort zone because there is so much more documentation posted on blogs, MSDN, TechNet or Office Online.
Deploy a simple farm on the Windows Server 2008 operating system (Office SharePoint Server)
