[Visual Basic 6.0]
The following code demonstrates using GetConfigurationStatus and the InstancesInUse property to verify no instances of a configuration are in use before stopping it:
   Dim pGISServerConnection As IGISServerConnection
  Set pGISServerConnection = New GISServerConnection
  pGISServerConnection.Connect "melange"
  
  Dim pServerObjectAdmin As IServerObjectAdmin
  Set pServerObjectAdmin = pGISServerConnection.ServerObjectAdmin
  
  Dim pSOCStatus As IServerObjectConfigurationStatus
  Set pSOCStatus = pServerObjectAdmin.GetConfigurationStatus("RedlandsMap", "MapServer")
  
  If pSOCStatus.InstanceInUseCount = 0 Then
    pServerObjectAdmin.StopConfiguration "MyMapServer", "RedlandsMap"
  End If
