Win2 - IIS Reset

Dated: December 13, 2005

Win2 is being rested currently. Will be back up in 60 seconds

IIS is back up. We are investigating an issue on Win2 that causes the server to become slown for 5 to 10 minutes, 1 or 2 times each day. The cause of this issue is not due to high load or CPU usage, as all these parameters are well below average.

We are working on a number of theories on what is causing the issue. We are looking at a possible network attack, at a network card defect and also a possibility of a metabase issue causing IIS to lock up

We are performing another IIS reset

We are once again investigating why Win2 has entered into a slow cycle just now. We hope to be able to resolve this issue shortly

We are performing an IISreset. Win2 services will be back in 120 seconds

IIS is performing well again after the reset. We have installed some additional IIS disagnostics tools to give us more error reporting
