IIS Application Pool Configuration

Applies To: Windows Server 2008

To ensure Web site and Web application isolation, Internet Information Services (IIS) application pools must be configured to have unique names and correctly configured identities. If errors occur during the configuration of an application pool, the application pool may not be available to serve the Web sites and Web applications that are assigned to it.

5050

Microsoft-Windows-WAS

The application pool id '%1' exceeds length limits. It is '%2' characters and cannot be more than '%3' characters. The application pool will therefore be ignored.

5051

Microsoft-Windows-WAS

An application pool id was defined as a zero length string. An application pool id must not be a zero length string. The application pool will therefore be ignored.

5058

Microsoft-Windows-WAS

The Windows Process Activation Service encountered a failure while setting the affinity mask of application pool '%1'. Probable cause: The mask does not contain any processors available on this machine. The data field contains the error number.

5060

Microsoft-Windows-WAS

The job object associated with application pool '%1' encountered an error during configuration. CPU monitoring may not function as expected. The data field contains the error number.

5061

Microsoft-Windows-WAS

The job object attached to application pool '%1' failed to start its timer. The application pool's CPU usage is being monitored and will eventually reach the limit and report a failure. The data field contains the error number.

5152

Microsoft-Windows-WAS

The application pool '%1' has an IdleTimeout '%2' equal to or greater than the PeriodicRestart time value of '%3'. This means that the worker process will never idle timeout, since it will restart before the idle timeout is reached. Please confirm that this is the desired behavior and if so, consider disabling the idle timeout by setting it to '0'.
