IIS reset with powershell

Selspiero

Hi there,

i'd like solarwinds to automatically reset iis on a server if that server CPU goes over 50%.

The server is managed using WMI, and has powershell 2.0 installed, i have this script working locally (i.e. running from the powershell cmd on the solarwinds server) :

$cred = Get-Credential<br />Invoke-Command server1 -ScriptBlock { <code style="font-family:Consolas, Menlo, Monaco, 'Lucida Console', 'Liberation Mono', 'DejaVu Sans Mono', 'Bitstream Vera Sans Mono', 'Courier New', monospace, serif;">Restart-Service w3svc -Force } `
  -cred $cred

could someone help me put this together into solarwinds, and in turn alerts manager?

Thanks!

OK, so actually i lied about running under the admin account

Used an account with permissions to run the Solarwinds Alerting Engine service and the script works.

Just thought i'd whack it in here in case anyone else needs to do it!
