  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 with SP1

IIS 6.0 can run in one of two distinct modes of operation, which are called application isolation modes. Application isolation is the separation of applications by process boundaries that prevent the applications from affecting one another, and it is configured differently for each of the two IIS application isolation modes: IIS 5.0 isolation mode and worker process isolation mode.

Before you begin deployment, review the following:

  • Differences between IIS 5.0 isolation mode and worker process isolation mode

  • Benefits of moving from IIS 5.0 isolation mode to worker process isolation mode

Note

This guide assumes that IIS 6.0 is running in worker process isolation mode, unless otherwise noted.
