You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to perform the following procedure or procedures. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run IIS Manager as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /user:Administrative_AccountName "mmc %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv\iis.msc".

1. In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, expand Application Pools, right-click the application pool, and click Properties.

2. Click the Health tab, and under Startup time limit, in the box next to Worker process must startup within (time in seconds), type the desired number of seconds.

3. Click OK.

1. In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, expand Application Pools, right-click the application pool, and click Properties.

2. Click the Health tab, and under Shutdown time limit, in the box next to Worker process must shutdown within (time in seconds), type the desired number of seconds.

3. Click OK.

Optionally, you can configure shutdown and startup time limits by setting the StartupTimeLimit or ShutdownTimeLimit metabase properties.

1. In the Run dialog box, type cmd, and then click OK.

   • To set a shutdown time limit, at the command prompt, type:
     
     cscript %SystemDrive%\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/ApplicationPoolName/ShutdownTimeLimit n
     
     
   • To set a startup time limit, at the command prompt, type:
     
     cscript %SystemDrive%\Inetpub\AdminScripts\adsutil.vbs set W3SVC/AppPools/ApplicationPoolName/StartupTimeLimit n
     
     Replace n with the number of seconds that you want to elapse before shutting down or starting the worker process.
     
     

For more information about setting startup and shutdown times for the worker processes, see StartupTimeLimit Metabase Property and ShutdownTimeLimit Metabase Property.
