Hello Everyone,

This is my challenge, I have a W2K3 IIS 6 internal webserver hosting
one two websites.

I need to bring down/up one of the websites at a specific time every
two weeks.

Q1. Does anyone know how I can proceed?

Q2. When the website goes down the end user would like to see a custom
page indicating that the website is down for maintenance and will be
back up @ x:xx time/date. How can I do do this/

I am new to IIS, but am looking forward to learning and contributing
to this newsgroup with my experience.

Thanks for the help

If you have control over your application code (guessing it is an inhouse
application), you can change the program to lookup from a database and
redirect users to a specific page.

or

you can take a look @
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/8647daf0-ec45-430c-9c3a-a54609ec92a7.mspx?mfr=true
and script it. Then use a scheduler to run the task. Implement some alert /
paging mechanism so that you keep a track of what is happening.

Regards,

Trevor Benedict.
