<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have an intranet site with about 180 users on it.<br />
<br />
One IIS server with 4 webs...of which one web gets 95% of trafic.<br />
<br />
Occassionally the web would get slower....and slower...and slower...and then stop<br />
Did searches for open connections etc...all that was fine.<br />
<br />
So I set the Application Pools to recycle every 2 hours from 8am - 6 pm with an hourly reset in the busiest part of the day...12 - 3pm.<br />
<br />
NOW...It seems that I'm dumping sessions when its recycled.<br />
<br />
What is the best solution...I have these folks doing data entry...walk away to a meeting and leave form open...come back...and everything dumps.<br />
<br />
Any ideas?

Session Timeout and Application Pools

IIS is Internet Information Services, the web server included with Windows Server operating systems. All current versions are built on a modular architecture; modules can be added or removed individually so that those required for specific functionality are installed. The full installation of IIS includes HTTP, security, content, compression, caching, logging and diagnostics.

Microsoft IIS Web Server

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.
