This is not an IIS limit but depends on system resources. My ISAPI can open
over 100K handles under heavy load without a problem.

However, having that many open handles may not be a good idea for a server.
What are you trying to do?

Hi,
I recently performed a pre-deployment test on IIS5.0 for one of my ISAPI
applications. I found that IIS is only capable of handling about 2,500
windows handles. My application crashed once it reaches that number and I
had
to unload the application before it will work again. I later tried my ISAPI
application on IntraWeb and it prove to be able to handle much more than IIS
can.
Is there a way where I can increase the number of windows handles in IIS?
Thanks.
Audrey
