Hello,
I just set up a new web server (IIS 6.0 Windows 2003) in order for my
developer to migrate some web apps from another server (also IIS 6, Windows
2003) to this one. But when I open the ISS manager on the new server, I am
not seeing the "Application Pool". Did I miss any steps when installing IIS
or its components?
Thanks and regards.

You are probably running IIS6 in IIS5 Compatibility Mode, which does
not have Application Pools. This happens either by upgrading from
Windows NT4/2000 Server or if you explicitly changed IIS6 to run in
IIS5 Compatibility Mode (either by changing the setting in the IIS
Manager UI or some application setup toggles the setting).

Hi,
This usually indicates IIS 6.0 is running in IIS 5.0 isoaltion mode.
Please open IIS manager:
1. Expand the local computer, right-click Web Sites, and then click
Properties.
2. Click the Service tab, un-select the Run WWW service in IIS 5.0
isolation mode check box, and then click OK.
3. To restart the WWW service, click Yes.
You should see the Application Pool directory in IIS manager then. If you
have some old web applications which do require to be run in IIS 5.0 mode,
enable the option again to turn things back.
Please update here if any problem persists.
Have a good day.
Sincerely,
WenJun Zhang

Hello,
Thanks for both of your replies (David and WJ). I checked and found out
"isolation mode" is exactly what happened on my server. So my next question
is: If this is a server-wide setting, does this mean IIS 6.0 and IIS 5.0 web
apps cannot co-exist on the same server? If that is the case, it will change
the course of my migration project.

The real answer is that it all depends on the web applications'
dependencies, not IIS settings.
For example, an IIS5 Web Application may depend on its host process
being LocalSystem, in which case it is fine to run it inside its own
Application Pool with identity of LocalSystem. It does not depend on
running IIS6 in IIS5 Compatibility Mode.
On the other hand, an IIS5 Web Application may depend on its host
process being inetinfo.exe, in which case you would have to run IIS6
in IIS5 Compatibility Mode since that's the only one which allows user
code to run in inetinfo.exe.
Thus, the correct answer completely depends on the web applications'
dependencies.
- Assuming you don't want to figure the dependencies out, then the
easiest solution is to say the applications do not co-exist and put
them on different servers.
- If you have requirements to put the web applications on the same
server, then you *must* figure out the applications' dependencies
Most of the time, it is fine to run IIS5 web applications in IIS6
Worker Process Isolation Mode with a few minor configuration tweaks
(based on the actual dependency of the web application), and you
really want to optimize to run things in IIS6 Worker Process Isolation
Mode. If you have to use IIS5 Compatibility Mode, then I'd keep that
application back on IIS5 instead of migrating it onto IIS6. You do not
gain much from migration.
