  Cluster IP breaking session Reply Contact I have 2 web servers which are identicaly configured ( exactly the same hardware, same system, same updates, shared IIS configuration ) and are working in Network Load Balancing. Cluster is configured to multiple host with affinity single. When I turn on both host session of ASP.NET application breaks. When I stop host 1 ( which has priority 1 ) the whole traffic goes to host 2 properly but still session breaks ( users are logged out after 2-4 clicks ), when I turn off host 2 ( which has priority 2 in NLB ) and turn on host 1 ( which has priority 1 in NLB ) everything works fast and properly, sesion doesnt break. That is very strange to me becasue one host works properly when the other breaks even that hosts are identicall. Also there is the same application code taken from shared folder by both hosts. I made one more try by configuring not clustered IP for the host on which application breaks ( host 2 ). When the IP is not clustered the application work properly on both hosts so it is not .NET nor system configuration. Please advice what to do? Do u think reconfiguring NLB can help? How to debug what is wrong? Why session breaks only on one of the hosts even there is 1 host started in NLB at a time. Thank you in advance for your help

  Re: Cluster IP breaking session Reply Contact I noticed the folowing exception in system event log which is only on the server which breaks. Maybe that may be the cause but I have no idea what w3wp is looking for in registry. Even if it does why on the other server it doesnt break?  Eescription: Windows detected your registry file is still in use by other applications or services. The file will be unloaded now.

  Re: Cluster IP breaking session Reply Contact and one more exception which may be connected to the session break ( generaly I think that it is application pool break which also cause session break - InProc session )  Description: A process serving application pool 'pool' suffered a fatal communication error with the Windows Process Activation Service. The process id was '2784'. The data field contains the error number.
