IIS service or GN4 Web services runs permanently on at least one server. For larger system there might be more IIS servers, or a server farm with load balancing. Describe this part of system in detail so it is clear from the first sight where to look for IIS services.

Important: if there's more than one IIS server, all the operations that regard restarting or recycling or update, must be performed on all servers and that's why it's important to be aware of the system layout.

With a screenshot, remind IT staff how they can verify the status of IIS services by means of Task Manager.
