If you are running Communicator Web Access (2007 R2 release) under Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0, your users might experience lengthy logon times and you might discover that your servers are unable to handle more than a few hundred simultaneous connections. (Communicator Web Access should be able to accommodate around 6,500 simultaneous users.) This is due to the way that IIS 7.0 allocates memory for IIS applications. To avoid this issue, you should create your Communicator Web Access virtual servers and then, for each virtual server on each computer running Communicator Web Access, change the IIS Managed Pipeline Mode. Use the following procedure to change the pipeline mode.
To configure Managed Pipeline Mode in IIS 7.0
