To avoid recycling worker processes when server demand is heaviest, you can configure an application pool to recycle the worker process, or worker processes, that are assigned to it at a specified time of day, which is based on a 24-hour format. By default, recycling at a scheduled time is disabled in IIS 6.0.
You might need to schedule some, or all, of your applications to recycle worker processes at times of the day when the server load is light. Enable recycling at a scheduled time so that worker processes are rescheduled at times that best fit the load. Be careful to stagger the recycling of your application pools because allowing them to recycle at the same time can degrade the performance of your server during the recycle period.
For information about how to use IIS Manager to configure a worker process to be recycled at scheduled times, see Configure Application Pool Recycling. For information about how to configure a worker process to be recycled at scheduled times by using a command-line procedure or script, see PeriodicRestartSchedule Metabase Property.
