The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Internet Information Services version 5.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
Changing the name of an application in Internet information Services 5.0 causes
the application to restart. This can cause problems for users that are currently
using the application.
CAUSE
=====
When the application is renamed, all users currently logged on to the
application are effected because the URL is changed.
WORKAROUND
==========
In order for the name change to be "graceful," restarting the application itself
(thereby purging the cache, and so on) seems to be the best way to address this
issue.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Internet Information
Services version 5.0.
