In the next week we will be moving from E10 to E11 and i will be scaling back our E10 servers

Is there a method to set app server instances to not start when a server is rebooted??

Thanks,
Richard.

Hi Richard,

I think you mean “IIS Application Pools” to not auto-start after server reboot. If that is the case, you can do that manually through IIS Manager interface:

Set that checkbox to FALSE/UNCHECKED

Or, editing the following file:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Find and change node attribute autoStart=“false” for the apppool you need, under:
< system.applicationHost > < applicationPools >

To stop/start on-demand you can do it manually or like this in a bat file:
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd stop apppool /apppool.name:apppoolname
C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\appcmd start apppool /apppool.name:apppoolname

Just remember that doing an IIS Reset will still not start it if it was marked as auto-start = false
