Simulate DOS/High Workload on IIS

Question

I want to simulate a DOS attack, or a very high workload on a simple IIS web site. The purpose is testing SCOM responses with IIS.

Any suggestions for a tool and/or script?

Thanks!

Jmeter is great for this. It's not 100% obviously how to use as it's quite flexible, but there are plenty of load-testing tutorials out there for it.
