Hi,

I have noticed that ASP.NET 2.0 is using "w3wp" process.
Is there a way to know the name & id of each Web Service running instance so
I will able to kill the WS instance I want?

Regards,
Asaf

AFAIK, there's no "WS instance". Everything is under aspnet_wp.exe if the
model is WorkerProcess or within IIS itself.
w3wp is your "Application Pool" process in IIS and has nothing to do with
ASP.Net or WebService.

Hello Asaf,

If you're using IIS6, "w3wp.exe" is the worker process which host the
ASP.NET applications. Also, in IIS6, by default it use the "Application
Pool" process isolation model, thus , all the ASP.NET applications which
use the same Application Pool will share the same w3wp.exe worker process.
And there exists an script utility which can help display all the runnning
IIS worker process and their associated Application Pool info:
