Event ID 5065 — IIS WAS Configuration

  • Article

Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

The Internet Information Services (IIS) Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) configuration manager manages configuration for the application pools and protocol adapters that it maintains. If WAS encounters problems when it reads configuration or reacts to configuration change notifications, configuration changes for the entities it manages may not be processed.

  3. Confirm that the expected page is displayed.
