Administering an ISP Installation

Limiting Resources

After determining the amount of resources the customer’s site is consuming, you might want to limit that customer to a certain percentage of your available resources. This will free up resources for other customers. To limit a site’s resources, run the site’s applications out of process, and then turn on process throttling.

To turn on process throttling

1. On the site’s property sheet, click the Performance tab.
2. Select Enable process throttling.
3. In the Maximum CPU use box, set the percentage of CPU resources dedicated to the site.
4. Enable Enforce limits.

When the site reaches a predefined limit, it will take the defined action, such as reduce process priority, halt processes, or halt the site.

For information about process throttling, see the “Throttling Processes” topic in the IIS 5.0 online product documentation.
