Running IIS on Isolation mode

You can run IIS 6.0 in one of two modes: worker process isolation mode or IIS 5.0 isolation mode. Worker process isolation mode is the default mode, that is, the mode that the server runs in on a clean installation. You can use IIS 5.0 isolation mode to run applications developed for older versions of IIS that are determined to be incompatible with worker process isolation mode.

To configure IIS for worker process isolation mode
----------------------------------------------------------

1.In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click Web Sites, and then click Properties.

2.Click the Service tab, clear the Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode check box, and then click OK.

3.To start the WWW service, click Yes.


To configure IIS for IIS 5.0 isolation mode
-------------------------------------------------
1.In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, right-click Web Sites, and then click Properties.

2.Click the Service tab, select the Run WWW service in IIS 5.0 isolation mode check box, and then click OK.

3.To start the WWW service, click Yes.


In usual cases running IIS on isolation mode will cause a lot of issues, so it is not recommended.
