in C#/Powershell - Is it possible to change the Idle TimeOut for an IIS Application Pool?

Question

I want to disable the idle timeout (Set it to Zero) of an application pool and I want to perform this at setup time, is it possible to perform this action from C# or PowerShell?

Answer 1

This is the script that i decided to use:

$myApplicationPool = Get-WmiObject -Class IISApplicationPoolSetting -Namespace "root\microsoftiisv2" | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq 'W3SVC/APPPOOLS/DefaultAppPool'}
$myApplicationPool.IdleTimeout=0
$myApplicationPool.Put()

If someone else has a better approach for this please let me know.

Hope this help someone

Regards.
