When setting timeouts for application pool recycling, can I set the idle timeout for a longer period of time than is specified in the time-based recycling setting?

  1. IIS cannot save such settings. It will throw error.

  2. Yes, This is perfectly acceptable and IIS will work accordingly.

  3. No If you set the idle timeout for an application pool to a period of time that is longer than the time specified for time-based recycling, IIS will ignore the settings that you specify and instead use the default settings

  4. YES, If you set the idle timeout for an application pool to a period of time that is longer than the time specified for time-based recycling, IIS will apply the longer time period settings.

C Correct answer
Explanation

IIS does not allow the idle timeout to be set longer than the time-based recycling interval. When this configuration is attempted, IIS ignores the custom settings and falls back to default values. This prevents conflicts between the two recycling mechanisms.
