Scheduling IIS to restart each night automatically

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Going to try using a .bat file and the net commands such as

NET STOP W3SVC
NET START W3SVC

these were useful:

IIS on XP increasing the number of connections - HTTP 403.9 error

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

This can be very annoying sometimes. I know it is not best to be running IIS on XP but sometimes you just have to. When running a local host you may want another member of your team to view your site or you may be running some regretional testing such as selenium test runner and you need to be able to hit the site more than just the once. Instead you just get a 403.9 error.

To alleviate this problem (not fully) you can do the following:

  • remove HTTP Keep-Alives Enabled
  • reduce the connection timeout
  • and then run this: adsutil set w3svc/MaxConnections 40 Found: c:/Inetpub\AdminScripts
