SharePoint Warm-Up
Created: 19.07.2013
Categories: SharePoint 2010; SharePoint 2013

If you want to start your SharePoint web applications you can use the following
VisualBasic script as a warm-up for SharePoint. The code copies the host file
in order to reach each web front end server.
server1: "host-server1"
server2: "host-server2"
Plus "host-original" in order to move back

VBS Code:


' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' URL List

Dim urls(3)
urls(1)="https://portal/sites/project1"
urls(2)="https://portal/sites/project2"
urls(3)="https://portal/sites/project3"

Dim servers(2)
servers(1) = "server1"
servers(2) = "server2"

Dim PingReply
PingReply = "Reply from"

Dim TargetUrl
TargetUrl = "portal"

Dim outFile
outFile="c:\WarmUp\WarmUp2013.log"

' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
'On error resume next

' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' Code
dim fso
dim startTime
startTime = Now

'DeleteLog
AddToLog "------------------------------------------------"

set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

For Each server in servers
  If server <> "" Then
    AddToLog "---------------- " & UCase(server)
    hostfile = "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts-" & server
    fso.CopyFile hostfile, "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"
    PingResult TargetUrl
    WarmUp()
  End If
Next

AddToLog "---------------- RESET"
fso.CopyFile "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts-original", "C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts"
PingResult TargetUrl
set fso = Nothing

AddToLog "---------------- Summary"
minTime = UBound(urls) * UBound(servers) * 5
duration = datediff("s", startTime, now)
AddToLog "URLs: " & UBound(urls)
AddToLog "Minimal Time: " & minTime
AddToLog "Duration (s): " & duration
If duration > (minTime + 5) Then
  AddToLog "Warning!"
End If
AddToLog "------------------------------------------------"

' '''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
' Subs

sub WarmUp()
  dim ie
  set ie = CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
  ie.Visible = 0

  For Each u1 In urls
    if u1 <> "" then
      AddToLog u1
      ie.Navigate2 u1
      WScript.Sleep(5000)
      Do while IE.readystate <> 4
      loop
    end if
  Next

  ie.Quit
  set ie = Nothing
end sub

sub DeleteLog()
  outFile="c:\svn\WarmUp2013.log"
  Set objFSOFile=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  objFSOFile.DeleteFile outFile
end sub

sub AddToLog(txt)
  set objFSOFile=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  set objFile = objFSOFile.OpenTextFile(outFile, 8, True)
  objFile.Write Now & " - " & txt & vbCrLf
  objFile.Close
  wscript.echo txt
end sub

sub PingResult(host)
  dim objShell
  dim objExec
  set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
  set objExec = objShell.Exec("ping -n 1 -w 1000 " & host)
  pr = objExec.StdOut.ReadAll
  pr = mid(pr, InStr(pr, PingReply))
  pr = left(pr, InStr(pr, ":") - 1)
  AddToLog pr
  set objShell = Nothing
  set objExec = Nothing
end sub

You can use the script as a scheduled task. Use an account that has read access in the sites.

Alternative: Use IIS8 setting "AlwaysRunning" instead.
Not tested yet but this sounds promising: Post by Trevor Seward
