Setting the ASP Script Timeout
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
When you set the ASP script timeout, you specify, in seconds, the default length of time that ASP pages allow a script to run before terminating the script and writing an event to the Microsoft Windows® Event Log. The minimum value for this property is one second and the default value is 90 seconds. The corresponding metabase property is AspScriptTimeout Metabase Property.
Important
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".
To change ASP script timeout
In IIS Manager, double-click the local computer, right-click the starting-point directory of the application you want to configure, and then click Properties.
Click the Directory tab, and then click Configuration.
Click the Options tab.
In the Application configuration section, in the ASP script timeout box, click the up or down arrow to set the number of seconds before an error message is returned.
Click OK.
