39. IIS Application Warm-Up • IIS process model is request driven • To instantiate critical infrastructure and be more responsive certain applications need to be pre-loaded • Application preload feature in IIS 7.5 allows applications to automatically start without a request • Requires IIS Application Warm-Up extension • See article on learn.iis.net for full instructions

40. CLR Settings per App Pool • ASP.NET settings stored in global ASPNET.config • Can now create custom ASPNET.config files • Specify location in applicationHost.config • Local settings honored at runtime – can be UNC path • E.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>

41. Configuration Logging Tracing • IIS 7.0 does not include any built-in tracing mechanism for configuration changes • IIS in Windows Server 2008 R2 provides: • Read / write auditing of configuration system • Logging of events unrelated to Reads / Writes • Logs kept under Applications and Services • Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows > IIS-Configuration • Four logs: • Administrative, Analytic, Debug, WriteAuditing • By default, all logging is disabled

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

43. Best Practices Analyzer • Seven criteria are checked for compliance • 1-7

44. demo Best Practices Analyzer

45. Web edition of Windows Server 2008 R2 • Will include Web Server (IIS) and DNS roles • Server Core installation supports ASP.NET • Optimized for Internet-facing Web-servingenvironments not requiring authentication • Can run Windows Media Services 2008, Windows SharePoint Services,Office SharePoint Server and SQL Server • Does not require purchase of Client AccessLicenses (CALs) or External Connector Reduced cost for Web scenarios Dedicated Web and DNS server Simplified licensing Supports 4 processors and 32 GB RAM (64 bit)

46. Summary • IIS is enhanced as IIS 7.5 in R2 • Mostly integration of IIS Extensions • .NET on Server Core is biggest change • IIS team continues to invest in Extensions
