How To Configure Web Garden In IIS 6 & IIS 7
1.

In IIS Manager, expand the local computer, expand Application Pools, right-click the application pool, and then click Properties.
|
2.
|
Click the Performance tab, and under Web garden, in the Maximum number of worker processes box, type the number of worker processes that you want to assign to the application pool. (You must type a number greater than 1 for the application pool to become a Web garden.

Click OK.

Optionally, you can configure a Web garden by setting the metabase property MaxProcesses. The MaxProcesses property determines the maximum number of worker processes that an application pool allows to service its requests. A value of zero indicates an unmanaged application pool that is not served by a worker process.
The default value for the MaxProcesses property is 1, which is the default number of worker processes that service an application pool. To configure an application pool so that it is a Web garden, set the MaxProcesses property to a value greater than 1.
Important You must be a member of the Administrators group on the local computer to run scripts and executables. As a security best practice, log on to your computer by using an account that is not in the Administrators group, and then use the runas command to run your script or executable as an administrator. At a command prompt, type runas /profile /user:MyComputer\Administrator cmd to open a command window with administrator rights and then type cscript.exeScriptName (include the script's full path and any known parameters).
Create Web Garden in IIS 6 and IIS 7
Now, I am going to show how you can change the Number of Worker processes in both IIS 6 and IIS 7. For IIS 6, Right Click on Application Pool > Properties > Goto Performance Tab.
In the “Performance Tab” section, you would have one option called “Web Garden” where worker process sets to “1”, you can set the number of worker processes that you required.
For IIS 7, Right Click on Application Pool > Go To Advance Settings > In Process Model section, you will have “Maximum Worker Processes”. You can change it more than 1 to make it as a web garden.
