Active Directory Application Mode
Am I missing something?  Where in my Windows .NET Server 2003 RC2 install is Active Directory Application Mode (AD/AM)?  Certainly not in the AD Wizards...or the help...or the CD? Anyone?

Watch IIS communicate wtih ASP.NET

Since ASP.NET "speaks" named pipes with IIS...

  • Download the FileMon utility from SysInternals
  • Run FileMon and select Drives->Named Pipes only
  • Set from Edit->Filters/Highlights to asp*.exe;inet*.exe to show only the named pipes between ASPNET_WP.EXE and INETINFO.EXE.
  • You should see a periodic write from ASPNET_WP.EXE and read from INETINFO.EXE (some ping mechanism)
  • Kill ASPNET_WP.EXE and you'll see the intital startup and handshake as inetinfo starts ASPNET_WP.EXE up again
