  IIS Manager for Remote Administration - webfarm access Reply Contact Hi I have a server farm of 4 servers running shared config for iis configuration and dfsr for file replication.  The servers are behind a foundry load balancer. Our shared config file is stored locally on each server and dfsr is used to replicate this across the farm.  This works well and was the configuration that was the most reliable during testing. I have given external users access to IIS Remote Manager and my question relates to this.  What happens if two users edit their site at exactly the same time.  Are we likely to find ourselves in the position that one update cannot be fulfilled because the other update has locked the iis config file? I guess this isseu would relate to the dfsr method of sharing the iis config files as well as shared config its self.  Thanks Richard

  Re: IIS Manager for Remote Administration - webfarm access Reply Contact When users connect to a site, they will only be able to edit web.config file for their site and below and not the central applicationhost.config - so, there should be no issue of conflicting changes to the same file.  Of course, you would want the IIS Manager requests to only go to one server, as you would not want the same user to connect to different machines within a short interval and have race condition between their multiple edits and DFSR syncing the files.
