This metabase property determines whether an ASP application can be automatically restarted.
There are two ways in which an application can be restarted. IIS 4.0 can call the application's Global.asa file; this will immediately cause the application to restart if the AspEnableApplicationRestart property is set to TRUE.
Important When this property if toggled from FALSE to TRUE, the application will automatically and immediately be restarted.
IIS 5.0 also provides an ADSI method, AspAppRestart, which can be used to restart the application.
