Configure Application Isolation Settings for IIS 5.0 Isolation Mode Isolating applications means configuring them to run in a process (memory space) that is separate from the Web server core (the core components required to run Internet Information Services (IIS), such as IISAdmin, the metabase, and so on) and other applications. You can configure applications into one of three levels of application protection:
Note that server-side includes (SSI), Internet Database Connector (IDC), and other InProcessISAPIApps applications (special applications that must be run in process) cannot be run in medium or high isolation. Requirements
Recommendation As a security best practice, log on to your computer using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the Run as command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At the command prompt, type runas /user:administrative_accountname mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc. Procedures
The Web server finishes processing any current requests for the application before it creates a separate process. At the next request for the application, the application will run in the appropriate memory space. |
