Prior to IIS6, unless you make sure the metabase is flushed from memory to
disk, your changes made via UI are vulnerable to being lost when the system
restarts. Period. It depends on whether anything crashes inetinfo.exe
prior to it stopping -- if you have everything running in High Isolation, no
inproc ISAPI Extensions, and no ISAPI Filters it's probably a good guess
that inetinfo.exe won't crash -- but the probability to crash increase in
all other cases.

You just have to be aware that IF this happens to you, that you need to
re-apply all your lost changes, assuming you knew what they all are. If you
are comfortable with that, great.

Fine, I can see that. I was more concerned that you knew of some serious
side-effect of making changes and not restarting the server. This is
just an inconvenience and can easily be tackled. More to the point, I
can make the change and rely on the settings being changed next time the
system is restarted, I don't have to take down a production server
specially for this change.
Thanx for the reply.
