Question 1

Which IIS health monitoring feature automatically restarts a worker process after it has served a configured number of requests?

Accepted Answer

Request limit recycling

Answer

Request limit recycling shuts down and restarts a worker process after it has processed a specified number of requests, helping mitigate memory leaks in long-running applications.

Question 2

In the context of IIS and ASP.NET, what does 'integrated pipeline mode' mean?

Accepted Answer

ASP.NET modules participate in the same unified request processing pipeline as native IIS modules

Answer

In integrated pipeline mode, ASP.NET modules (like authentication or custom HttpModules) run within IIS's unified request pipeline, enabling them to process all request types including static files.

Question 3

What is the purpose of the IIS 'Output Caching' feature?

Accepted Answer

It caches rendered HTTP responses in memory so repeated identical requests are served without hitting the application

Answer

IIS Output Caching stores full HTTP responses (or partial responses via kernel-mode caching) so subsequent requests for the same resource are served directly from cache without invoking the application.

Question 4

Which tool introduced in IIS 7 allows administrators to delegate management of specific web features to site owners without granting server-level access?

Accepted Answer

IIS Manager (with Feature Delegation)

Answer

IIS Manager's Feature Delegation allows server administrators to specify which features site owners can configure independently via IIS Manager connected remotely to their site.

Question 5

What happens when IIS detects that a worker process has become unhealthy through its ping mechanism?

Accepted Answer

IIS terminates and recycles the unhealthy worker process and starts a replacement

Answer

When the worker process fails to respond to a ping within the configured timeout, IIS marks it as unhealthy, terminates the w3wp.exe process, and starts a new worker process to replace it.
