Enabling Buffering
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1
Enabling buffering on an ASP application specifies whether output from an ASP application will be buffered. All output from the application is collected in the buffer before the buffer is flushed to the client browser. If you do not enable buffering, output from an ASP script is written to the client browser as it becomes available. By default, buffering is enabled. The corresponding metabase property is AspBufferingOn 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".

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 appropriate tab: Home Directory, Virtual Directory, or Directory.
In the Application settings area, click Configuration, and then click the Options tab.
