For the past several months, we have been using a product called SuperScout with Microsoft Proxy 2.0 to monitor web access by our users. Unfortunately, the SuperScout program seems to cause proxy/IIS to generate Dr. Watson errors on rare occasion. So, I have devised a script that uses BLAT to send an email to me or a co-worker when the proxy service stops. I do this by polling the Dr. Watson log size. Ideally, SurfControl would fix their product, but this hasn't happened, yet.

What I would like to do is to automatically restart the web proxy and default web service whenever these errors occur. This way, I don't have to run back to the server every time the proxy errors out. I have looked into the adsutil.vbs script, and I have a little understanding, but I'm not sure it is adequate. Generally, I right click on web proxy, then start, then I right click on default web server, then start (in iis.msc). This is all that is necessary. I would assume there is a way to do this via kixtart.

Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated!!!
