A server at work is constantly needing a reboot(memory usage builds up quickly). There is a LOT of asp scripts on the server, is there a way to track down what script is taking up so much of the resources?

TaskManager?

heh, Taskmanager manages to tell me that I am in big trouble as far as memory and CPU usage.... What I need to do is find out whats causing the gross misuse of memory in the first place.

Thanks though, anyone have any ideas?

I would if you could and this depends on the sites you have installed use Performance Monitor and check on the sites inprocess and then outofprocess this allows you site by site to test each ones mem/res usage from that you can work out the site that is causing the problem.

I would also look if this is IIS5 at getting iis5recycle from Microsoft, a very handy tool!

I doubt that static content is the issue and will mostly be ASP pages or ADO connections.

I agree with stevew, this is most likely some poorly written ASP pages. Check for your event logs for any transaction that times out.

If necessary setup performance monitoring and first find out what is the exact culprit to your CPU usage

Task manager should at least be able to tell you where it is. With default IIS5 config, look at size of DLLHOST.EXE - how big is it?

As someone mentioned, IIS5 has a tool IIS5Recycle - but it is something of a "dirty fix" if you ask me.

It basically restarts the IIS process on a set of conditions.

Ok, to clarify things I am using IIS 4. How exactly do I find the script(s) that are responsible for botching things?

Here is an error that is now crashing everything that is using access.

**************
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '8007000e'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] System resource exceeded.
**************

Its not as if the server is being overloaded by the use of access(there are not THAT many sites on the server).

I now how to monitor specific websites for requests etc, but how do I isolate websites by CPU/mem usage, and even better(if possible) how do I isolate the script?
