  • Application Pool warm-up

    I had a post the other day on forums.iis.net that I did some research and wanted to share.  It was regarding Application Pool warm-ups.  Currently, there is no settings to help after a recycle, crash of an app pool etc.  http://www.asp.net/learn/whitepapers/aspnet40/#_Toc223325464   ASP.NET 4.0 has some configuration posted here.  I know IIS 7.5 will have the plumbing to support this.   A few searchs on the internet (Google, Live) shows there is plenty of Sharepoint warm-up scripts and ideas.  Sharepoint is dreadfully slow on warm-up.   Here are a couple of handle links I found.

  • Metabase ACL's reference KB

    This is one of those KB articles I stumbled across on Metabase ACL's.  I know IIS 7 doesn't formally have the metabase except for compat reasons, but this is handy for IIS 6 and below.
