IIS Application Warm-Up
CLR Settings per Application Pool
Configuration Logging and Tracing
New Application Pool Identities and Managed
Service Accounts
Best Practices Analyzer
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
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>
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 > IISConfiguration
Four logs:
Administrative, Analytic, Debug, WriteAuditing
By default, all logging is disabled
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
Best Practices Analyzer
Seven criteria are checked for compliance
1-7
Best Practices Analyzer

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
