Using Open Deploy to Stop IIS

System

I want to stop IIS on the target server before deploying the files. How do I configure OpenDeploy to call a Net Stop W3SVC before deploying files and a Net Start W3SVC after. Is this something that can be done in the OD configs or do I need to use a workflow? Can I set it so the Net Start will still be called if there is a rollback?

Take a look at "Deploy and Run" Chapter in your OD Manual

yes, and Bo gave you enough information to do so. Now, the actual use case of this and how it will really work in production is something I hope you have really thought out. How long do your deployments usually take ? is it fairly consistent ? What will your customer/boss think if the sight is down for 20 minutes because someone changed a lot of stuff ?

What if there are multiple concurrent Deployments? "A" finishes and restarts W3SVC while "B" is still in progress, this sort of things.
We do not really know doctor's use case

No question. This is a valid request but needs to be completely thought out. Now if he has a special deployment for a certain file and runs it then only, great. But if he does this for every piece of content then there maybe some issues.
