    Re: Preload web application after WP recycle

    Well, suddenly realize your web site is using Windows authentication (or other non-anonymous ways). Then you may consider DebugDiag (though it is a debugging tool).

    Once you install it on this server, you can create a hang rule and ask it to ping this URL for you. Note that you need to specify proper ping interval and timeout values. Otherwise, this tool will try to capture IIS dump files for you :)

    Ah, yes. I probably could have helped you there by stating that I'm running under Integrated Windows Authentication and not Anonymous Authentication.

    I'll take a look at the tool you've suggested and let you know.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    From reading around a bit it would seem that DebugDiag can act as a 'keep alive' tool as you describe. I've not yet installed it to be able to try, but do you know off the top of your head if it will also cause a recycled application pool to compile the applications it contains?

    Generally speaking, it won't for you.

    As we discussed previously, you have already turned off "idle shutdown" and enabled a daily recycle in non-business hours (am I right?) If so then the worker process for your application pool remains active till the recycle starts. Even DebugDiag who pings the URL periodically does not interfere with that.
