Hi there, the last post states that the problem was solved, i was hoping
that it had more info as to what he/she did to solve the problem.

i read the suggestions on the web garden, i launched my IIS and saw
that the web gardens options are there when you look at the properties
of the application pool.

Would a good solution to the ASP sessions loosing data be, to

create a new application pool,
enable the recycle worker process at the following times and select 1
am or something.
uncheck shutdown workerprocess (would you recomend this?)
set the maximum number of worker processes to 1. (or can you switch of
this featuer some other way?)

The reason why i ask is because we just asked 10 of our clients to get
new servers and they all upgraded to server 2003 :)

the application is an ASP application, that relies heavily on session
variables...

any help would be appreciated, thank you.,.
