• Performance mitigations serving content from a UNC share via IIS 6

  - by codepoke

  I have a quad processor vmware instance running Windows 2003 and 1gb ethernet. I'm comparing serving the exact same heavy .NET 2.0 content from the local hard drive versus serving it from a UNC drive. If I use WCAT to load it down, I see about a 40% reduction in transactions/sec while serving from the UNC. Processor time barely moves from 45% and the NIC sits around 40% either way. I don't see any significant memory loading either way. Context Switches/Transaction, though, more than doubles when serving from the UNC. Pathlengths more than double as well, but I believe that's just an expression of the effect of context switching. All told, it looks like the bottleneck is processor switching while waiting on content from the UNC share. Is my experience about the norm? Is there some mitigation I might try? I twiddled HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters\MaxCmds a little bit per http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd296694(WS.10).aspx, but to no obvious effect. I kind of doubt my problem is lack of connections, but rather just the act of switching from thread to thread while waiting on data.

• App Pool crashes before loading mscorsvr. How to troubleshoot?

  - by codepoke

  I have an app pool that recycles every 29 hours, per default. It recycles smoothly 9 times out of 10, and I'm pretty sure the recycle itself is good for the app. Once every couple weeks the recycle does not work. The old worker process dies cleanly and the new worker process starts, but will not serve up content. Recycling the app pool again manually works like a charm. The failed worker process stops and dies cleanly and a second new worker process fires up and serves content perfectly. I took a crash dump against the failed worker process prior to recycling it, and DebugDiag found nothing to complain about. I tried to dig a little deeper using WinDBG, but mscorsvr/mscorwks is not loaded yet 15 minutes after the new process started. There are 14 threads running (4 async) and 20 pending client connections, but .NET is not even loaded into the process yet. Any suggestions where to poke and prod to find a root cause on this?

• Creating an IIS 6 Virtual Directory with PowerShell v2 over WMI/ADSI

  - by codepoke

  I can create an IISWebVirtualDir or IISWebVirtualDirSetting with WMI, but I've found no way to turn the virtual directory into an IIS Application. The virtual directory wants an AppFriendlyName and a Path. That's easy because they're part of the ...Setting object. But in order to turn the virtual directory into an App, you need to set AppIsolated=2 and AppRoot=[its root]. I cannot do this with WMI. I'd rather not mix ADSI and WMI, so if anyone can coach me through to amking this happen in WMI I'd be very happy. Here's my demo code: $server = 'serverName' $site = 'W3SVC/10/ROOT/' $app = 'AppName' # If I use these args, the VirDir is not created at all. Fails to write read-only prop # $args = @{'Name'=('W3SVC/10/ROOT/' + $app); ` # 'AppIsolated'=2;'AppRoot'='/LM/' + $site + $app} # So I use this single arg $args = @{'Name'=($site + $app)} $args # Look at the args to make sure I'm putting what I think I am $v = set-wmiinstance -Class IIsWebVirtualDir -Authentication PacketPrivacy ` -ComputerName $server -Namespace root\microsoftiisv2 -Arguments $args $v.Put() # VirDir now exists # Pull the settings object for it and prove I can tweak it $filter = "Name = '" + $site + $app + "'" $filter $v = get-wmiobject -Class IIsWebVirtualDirSetting -Authentication PacketPrivacy ` -ComputerName $server -Namespace root\microsoftiisv2 -Filter $filter $v.AppFriendlyName = $app $v.Put() $v # Yep. Changes work. Goes without saying I cannot change AppIsolated or AppRoot # But ADSI can change them without a hitch # Slower than molasses in January, but it works $a = [adsi]("IIS://$server/" + $site + $app) $a.Put("AppIsolated", 2) $a.Put("AppRoot", ('/LM/' + $site + $app)) $a.Put("Path", "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\news") $a.SetInfo() $a Any thoughts?

• Get-WMIObject fails when run AsJob

  - by codepoke

  It's a simple question, but it's stumped me. $cred = Get-Credential $jobs = @() $jobs += Get-WmiObject ` -Authentication 6 ` -ComputerName 'serverName' ` -Query 'Select * From IISWebServerSetting' ` -Namespace 'root/microsoftiisv2' ` -EnableAllPrivileges ` -Credential $cred ` -Impersonation 4 ` -AsJob $joblist = Wait-Job -Job $jobs -Timeout 60 foreach ($job in $jobs) { if ($job.State -eq "Completed") { $app = Receive-Job -Job $job $app } else { ("Job not completed: " + $job.Name + "@" + $job.State + ". Reason:" + $job.ChildJobs[0].JobStateInfo.Reason) Remove-Job -Job $job -Force } } The query succeeds when run directly and fails when run -AsJob. Reason:System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access is denied. I've jiggered with -Impersonation, -Credentials, -Authority, and -EnableAllPrivileges to no useful effect. It appears I'm overlooking something fundamental. Why is my Powershell prompt allowed to connect to the remote server, but my child process denied?
