The following script will let you recycle an Application Pool on a remote server running IIS 6 or IIS 7 (with IIS 6 WMI Compatibility Features installed).
The script accepts 2 parameters: a server name and an application pools name, in the following format:
PS >.\RecycleIIsAppPool.ps1 server_name "application_pool_name"
To obtain a list of application pools on remote server, see: List IIS application pools on remote server using Powershell.
RecycleIIsAppPool.ps1:
$server = $args[0]
$applicationPool = $args[1]
$appPool = Get-WmiObject -Authentication PacketPrivacy -Impersonation Impersonate
-ComputerName $args[0] -namespace "root/MicrosoftIISv2"
-class IIsApplicationPool |
Where-Object {$_.Name -eq "W3SVC/AppPools/$applicationPool" }
$appPool.Recycle()
I received the error :
Missing expression after unary operator ‘-’.

Try removing line breaks in $appPool = Get-WmiObject command.
