Adding Dedicated Application Pools

To add a Dedicated Application Pool in Windows Server 2003:

1. Go to Account > Account Settings in your user control panel.
2. In the section Dedicated Application Pool, click Add.
3. Enter extension and maximum number of worker processes:
   • Extension will be used for pool name. For instance, if your account name is user, extension is test, the newly-created application pool will be named usertestAppPool.
   • Maximum number of worker processes can be restricted by administrator.

To add a Dedicated Application Pool in Windows Server 2008:

1. Go to Account > Account Settings in your user control panel.
2. In the section Dedicated Application Pool, click Add.
3. Enter extension and maximum number of worker processes, select ASP.NET version, pipeline mode and 32-bit applications support status:
   • Extension will be used for pool name. For instance, if your account name is user, extension is test, the newly-created application pool will be named usertestAppPool.
   • Maximum number of worker processes can be restricted by administrator.
   • ASP.NET version specifies ASP.NET version for assigned web applications.
   • Pipeline mode allows to select between INTEGRATED (if you want to use the integrated IIS and ASP.NET request-processing pipeline) and CLASSIC (if you want to use IIS and ASP.NET request-processing modes separately) modes. INTEGRATED mode is available only if some version of ASP.NET is selected, because it has no sense without ASP.NET.
   • 32-bit applications support allows execution of 32-bit applications on 64-bit hosts. 32-bit applications support cannot be disabled if ASP.NET version 1.1 is selected, because 64-bit ASP.NET runtime is not available prior to 2.0 version.

Note: In Windows Server 2000 Dedicated Application Pools are not available.
