    How to restart IIS nicely?

    I have 3 server farm with multiple apps as virtual directories. Very often due to some maintenance tasks I need to restart the IIS. In a web farm environment ideally I could do it anytime. We haev F5 load balancing with sticky sessions. Is there an easy way to verify that there are no current users using any of the websites? Can for example shut down or stop app pools, wait, check something and then restart IIS? Ideally new request should go to other two servers.

    Thank you very much,
    Greg

    You can use remote performance monitoring and monitor "current connections" counter. When that counter is 0 or less than 10, you may want to perform IIS restart.

    HTH.
