DisallowRotationOnConfigChange is not applicable.

Question

We have an ASP.NET application running on iis7 with an application pool for which “Disable processing for configuration changes” is set to “True”.

However, when we make changes to the web.config file, the application pool is still processed as indicated in the event log:

Event code: 1002 

Event Message: The application is closing. Reason: configuration changed. Event time: 04/16/2011 14:34:23 Event time (UTC): 04/16/2009 9:34:23 Event ID: 36792e5493444e7893665e66e4a4415b Event Sequence: 150 Event: 1 Event ID: 50004

Application information: Application area: / LM / W3SVC / 1 / ROOT / edudemov9-15-130736932997750186 Level of trust: full Virtual application path: / edudemov9 Application path: S: \ Sites \ edudemov9 \ site \ Machine name: TEHKYLE

Process Information: Process ID: 8820 Process Name: w3wp.exe Account Name: NT AUTHORITY \ NETWORK SERVICE

Are there any other settings or functions that will override the DisallowRotationOnConfigChange parameter?

"disallowRotationOnConfigChange is only for application pool settings, not web.config, so the appdomain utility is still running even if disallowRotationOnConfigChange is being applied. There is a file change registry (FCN) change that can prevent web.config from being changed, and then the changes themselves are not will be raised until the application pool is manually redesigned ...
