Additional IIS Enhancements

IIS Application Warm-UpCLR Settings per Application PoolConfiguration Logging and TracingNew Application Pool Identities and Managed Service AccountsBest Practices Analyzer

IIS Application Warm-UpIIS process model is request drivenTo instantiate critical infrastructure and be more responsive certain applications need to be pre-loadedApplication preload feature in IIS 7.5 allows applications to automatically start without a requestRequires IIS Application Warm-Up extensionSee article on learn.iis.net for full instructions

CLR Settings per App Pool

ASP.NET settings stored in global ASPNET.configCan now create custom ASPNET.config files

Specify location in applicationHost.configLocal settings honored at runtime – can be UNC pathE.g. set maximum number of threads, maximum number of requests or garbage collection settings

Add the following in applicationHost.config file:<applicationPools>

<add name="DefaultAppPool" CLRConfigFile="c:\myConfig\CLRConfigFile.txt" />

<add name="Classic .NET AppPool" managedPipelineMode="Classic" /><applicationPools>

Configuration Logging Tracing

IIS 7.0 does not include any built-in tracing mechanism for configuration changesIIS in Windows Server 2008 R2 provides:

Read / write auditing of configuration system Logging of events unrelated to Reads / Writes

Logs kept under Applications and ServicesApplications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > IIS-Configuration

Four logs:Administrative, Analytic, Debug, WriteAuditing

By default, all logging is disabled

Application Pool Identities

All application pools run as NetworkServiceIIS in R2 (and backported to IIS 7.0) allows use of new “AppPool” identityIIS in R2 allows domain accounts for running services without management of passwords – Managed Service AccountsIdentity type in IIS in R2 is set by default to 4 (App Pool Identity) versus 2 (Network Service) – NOT in IIS 7.0 / WS08
