Does load user profile require an app pool restart in IIS - iis

Can anybody help me understand if changing the Load user profile on IIS 7 to 'True' requires an app pool restart ? . I find after each deployment it reverts it back to the default state

Any changes you make to the AppPool configuration automatically restarts the AppPool after you exit.

There are many reasons for this error, you can try the following solutions:
Click on application pools under the tree with your machine name, on the right side, click on advanced settings, in Process Model change the "Load User Profile" to false, Start your apllication and restart your IIS.
In IIS go to the Application Pools under the Server, then find the correct application pool for your web site, and click on it. On the advanced settings menu to the right, select Identity and change it and enter new user and password. Click on your application pool again, and select recycle to restart it.

Do not terminate an application on IIS

When I put my application on directory and access for first time, the application begins. It's OK, no problem. BUT, after sometime, this application ends end this is normal. Is possible do not terminate by time or extends this time application is running?
Do you mean you want to keep the IIS application pool never stop. I suggest you could try to set the start mode to always running.
You could follow below steps to achieve your requirement.
1.Open IIS management console
2.Select the right application pool
3.Click advanced setting
4.Modify the start mode to always running.
Notice:
When you set the startMode property of your application pool to AlwaysRunning a worker process is spawned as soon as IIS starts up and does not wait for the first user request. But this does not mean the web application is initialized.
When you set preloadEnabled to true, IIS will simulate a user request to the default page (can be changed with initializationPage metabase setting) of the website/virdir so that the application initializes. The request is not logged in the IIS logs.
More details, you could refer to below steps:
1.Right click your IIS web sites
2.Select manage web site
3.Select advanced settings
4.Set the preload enabled to true

IIS Restart on Updating a Web Application

I have deployed multiple Web Applications in IIS, When I am deploying a modified Dll for any of this Web Application, I need to restart the IIS to get the effect of the new dll. This impacts other Applications. All of these Applications get restarted as I have restarted IIS. Is there any way by which I can restart the specific Application, for which the modified Dll has been deployed?
Yes. Create a different "Application Pool" for your app (in IIS). Make sure your app is assigned to the new pool.
When your app is deployed, the app pool is automatically restarted (affecting all of the other apps in that pool). By default, everything gets deployed to the default app pool.

Recycle (Restart) IIS 7 application pool from within ISAPI extension

I am developing an ISAPI extension. How to make ISAPI extension to recycle (restart) application pool it is running on?
To achive this I can disable Rapid-Fail Protection and call something like TerminateProcess(GetCurrentProcess(), 0);
But this leads to potential data loss.
Also I can do it by executing external program %windir%\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe recycle apppool /apppool.name:"name of my app pool" But this way I have to configure app pool name somewhere and pool identity has to have administrator privileges.
Also this could be done through WMI, but administrator privileges is needed for this too.
I don't want to give my application pool administrator rights.
So is there a way to give user privilege only to restart application pool but not full administrator rights? May be some setting in Local Security Policy?
Or the only solution is to create a daemon (service) that will run as administrator and wait for message from my ISAPI extension to restart it?

Automatic Browse Service.svc file in iis

I have created a WCF service which i have hosted in IIS. When I start the service in IIS, the Service do not started until I browse my Service.svc file.
Application pool gets recycled after a specific interval, then when the Service is restarted I again need to go and browse the Service.svc file.
I have set this Service as Default bt it does not work and results the same.
Is there any way to automatic browse my Service.svc file when the Service is started or restarted.
This is a general annoyance with IIS. It launches worker processes to perform website processing which don't (always) start until the website has been requested. The workaround I've used in the past is to hit a page outside of my web application to launch the IIS worker process so it is available when I need it. Be careful though there are some nuances to the app pools that can make this more complicated than it needs to be.
