I'm running Win2k sp4, IIS5.
I tried to "unload" a high-isolated application web, it
hung up, which in turn hosed up the MMC/IIS Admin
console. I ended up rebooting to recover. Is there a way
to prevent this from happening? More specific details
follow.
Details: I went into the folder properties/Directory
tab/Application Settings to unload an application web
that wasn't working properly. After several minutes with
no response from the IIS admin console I closed down MMC
by ending the task from task manager. I re-opened MMC
and tried to work with folder properties (for any folder)
and it said I had to close the property page I already
had open (which was no longer visible to me). I signed
off and back on to the server and the MMC/IIS admin
console was still not functioning properly. I tried to
stop the IIS/Admin console and it ended up timing out,
not being able to completely stop the WWW Publishing
Service. I finally rebooted the box to recover.
