Any tweaks for server pages on IIS 6?

lchance

My question is focused on the ORION NPM web server only.

Are there any known tweaks or does anyone have any suggestions for tweaking IIS to get more speed on serving the server pages?

I have had users complain of slow downs on the web site/server as they use Internet Explorer.

(Even users on the same subnet with the server).

Thanks.

Your problem is most likely the database not the web server. I'm sure the web server is serving pages as quickly as it is receiving the information from the database. If I am correct, and your bottleneck is the database server, as it is almost always is, make sure you have your database on a separate server then your polling engine and web server. If this is already the case I suggest you look at the Disk 1/0 on your database server. Consider upgrading your disks to 15k drives, and a Raid controller with at least 256meg of Cache with your drives in a Raid 10 configuration for optimal results. Lastly make sure your database server is not starving for memory. SQL can be a pig when it comes to RAM so make sure you have plenty of it.
