AppPoolQueueLength Metabase Property

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2003 with SP1

The AppPoolQueueLength property indicates to HTTP.sys how many requests to queue up for an application pool before rejecting future requests. When the limit for this property is exceeded, IIS rejects the additional requests with a 503 error.

Note

For Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 (SP1), the default value of this property has changed from 4000 to 1000. If you had IIS 6.0 installed before applying SP1 to your server, the value will not be changed; however, you should consider lowering the value for performance reasons.

Note

If you set this property to a value outside the range, you receive a 1041 error in the event log.
