Question

How do you set an IIS6 app pool’s idle timeout with powershell? All I am seeing from my searches is how to set the app pool recycle time which isn’t quite the same.

This is what is turning up, but I don’t think it’s what I am looking for:

$destinationPool.recycling.periodicRestart.schedule

Answer 1

I can’t test it but try this:

$ApplicationPool = Get-WmiObject -Class IISApplicationPoolSetting -Namespace "root/microsoftiisv2" | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq 'W3SVC/APPPOOLS/DefaultAppPool'}
$ApplicationPool.IdleTimeout=0
$ApplicationPool.Put()
