Stopping a domain or server shuts down its domain administration server (DAS). When stopping a domain, the DAS stops accepting new connections and then waits for all outstanding connections to complete. This shutdown process takes a few seconds. While the domain is stopped, the Administration Console and most of the asadmin subcommands cannot be used. This subcommand is particularly useful in stopping a runaway server. For more controlled situations, you can use the restart-domain(1) subcommand.
For Microsoft Windows, you can use an alternate method to stop a domain. From the Start menu, select the command for your distribution of GlassFish Server:
If you are using the Full Platform, select Programs -> Oracle GlassFish Server -> Stop Admin Server.
If you are using the Web Profile, select Programs -> Oracle GlassFish Server Web Profile -> Stop Admin Server.
If necessary, notify users that you are going to stop the domain.
Stop the domain by using the stop-domain(1) subcommand.
This example stops domain1 in the default directory, where domain1 is the only domain present in the directory.

You can also view the full syntax and options of the subcommand by typing asadmin help stop-domain at the command line.
