 Windows 2008 Tuning Article - Recycling Conditions for .NET Application Pool

Problem: Users are kicked off of FileHold server every 24 hours

Solution: Adjust Recycling Conditions for the FH Application Pool in IIS Manager on Windows 2008.

  1. On Window 2008, open up the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
  2. Open up the Application Pools section
  3. Right click on FHAppPool and click on Recycling contexual menu
  4. Uncheck Fixed Intervals > Regular time intervals (default is every 24 hours, based on when the IIS based application was originally installed)
  5. Check specific time(s): and set a time for the middle of the night when FileHold users are not on the system, so that the recycling occurs during off-peak hours - since recycling will cause a momentary disconnection for all users, who then have to reconnect.
  6. Click Next
  7. Click Finish.
