IIS Timeouts Quick Reference
Internet Information Services (IIS) has several time-out values that are set by default when you install Windows Server 2003. Time-out values allow the server to specify how long server resources are allocated to specific tasks or clients.
Time-out settings are configurable from IIS Manager as well. For more information about setting the various time-out values, see Setting Connection Timeouts in the Help that comes with IIS Manager.
The following table lists the time-out values in IIS and where you can set them.
