This module enables the website to be always running, even if the application pool is recycled or the IIS service is restarted.

Find “IIS Manager for Remote Administration (v1.1 currently) and click the add button.Ĥ) Then click the Install button at the bottom of the dialog window.ĥ) You may need to restart IIS Manager after the install to see the new options appear.If you choose to use IIS to host the SQL Monitor web interface, and you wish to make use of the scheduled reporting feature to receive regular reports, then it will be necessary to enable the Application Initialization feature for IIS. I never noticed the links across the top and spent a considerable amount of time looking for what I needed…argh.ģ) Once you click the “Products” tab, you will get a long list of items that you can install. I can describe the how-to in two screen shots….drumroll please:ġ) first click on the “Get New Web Platform Components” link highlighted in the screenshot above.Ģ) Once the installer comes up, it is defaulted to the Spotlight items first. I struggled to find the solution, but with a little help from a friend (thanks Rich!) we figured it out. However, this doesn’t work on IIS8 and Win8 RP. In the past, I had to locate and download the IIS Manager plug-in and install it. I use the IIS Manager to manage several other servers.

I recently upgraded to the Windows 8 Release Preview which comes with IIS8 (if you add it from the “add features dialog”).

Well that is a mouthful of a title isn’t it.
