Configure Application Pool Recycling

Internet Information Services (IIS) can be configured to periodically restart worker processes assigned to an application pool, which recycles faulty Web applications. Recycling keeps problematic applications running smoothly, especially when it is not feasible to modify the application code. Recycling helps ensure that problematic applications do not cause other applications to fail, and that system resources can be recovered from unhealthy applications. Use the "Configure Application Pool Health" procedure earlier in this appendix to configure worker process shutdown and startup times to ensure that applications do not experience downtime.
