We've all had those sites where, for some reason, Companyweb just stops, needs restarting then runs fine for a while and then stops again. Gotta love it...
Well, I have a site we're in the process of migrating from SBS 2003 to Essentials 2012 R2 + Office 365 where this started happening a few days ago, so I decided to sort out a scheduled script to take care of this for me.
@Echo Off
if exist default.aspx del default.aspx
"C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\wget.exe" --user=administrator --password="Seriously, you think I'd post that on my blog?" --timeout=30 --tries=1 http://CompanyWeb/default.aspx
find /C "SharePoint Team Web Site" default.aspx
IF ERRORLEVEL 1 cscript C:\WINDOWS\system32\iisweb.vbs /start companyweb
I'm running this script every 5 minutes which places bugger all extra load on the server, but means that it isn't long after the Companyweb site stops that it is restarted.
Oh, and run it as "nt authority\system" so it doesn't pop up a command prompt window on the user's desktop (ie, the administrator's desktop).
