How to find which w3wp.exe belongs to which application pool and Find correct w3wp ProcessId for Web Application in IIS: IIS 6.0 and IIS 7.0 .

Today we see some performance issue on two of our webservers and I was supposed to the analysis of the it.

I know this is tuff Job but work is worship so no compromise.

We had similar problem in the past as well; however, our Search 2008 server has contributed to the server CPU utilization to 100 %. We stopped all search crawls in the past and issue was resolved.

Today is another scary day when we saw the search was stopped and still CPU is at 100 % of it utilization on two of our servers.

I noticed from the task manager that multiple instances of w3wp.exe was running and some of them was eating up the completed memory.

Enabled the PID from Process Tab -> View -> Select Columns -> Select PID.

PID is a unique process ID associated with each process running on the server or client.

Why this PID was required?

To compare the PID associated with each and w3wp.exe. Now questions comes to mind is how we can know which web application or which application pool is binded with which worker process. Below is the answer…J

How to find which w3wp.exe belongs to which application pool: Applicable to Server 2003

Introduction

If you have multiple application pools on your IIS 6.0 web server you have certainly already noticed (in Task Manager) that you have multiple w3wp.exe processes running. If you notice a problem with one of these processes (for example consuming much memory, or taking too much CPU power) the following question arises: How do I know which application pool this process belongs to, so I know what application is causing this? It may sound like an easy to answer question, and it is, if you know the solution!

iisapp.vbs

The command-line script iisapp.vbs can be used to view which application pool a worker process belong to (a w3wp.exe process in Task Manager). This script is stored in the systemroot\system32 folder. To run this script open a command prompt.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>cscript.exe iisapp.vbs
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6

W3WP.exe PID: 1188 AppPoolId: DefaultAppPool

The example above tells us that the w3wp.exe with PID 1188 belongs to the application pool called DefaultAppPool. The syntax for this script is:

iisapp [/a AppPoolName | /p PID]

So you can also search for a specific application pool by specifying the PID, or vice versa (search for a PID by specifying the application pool name).

"Sign in as Different User" menu option is missing in SharePoint Server 2013

Problem Description:

In Microsoft SharePoint Server 2013, you notice that the Sign in as Different User menu option is missing.

It’s really a shocked that this option has been completely removed from SharePoint Server 2013 but after debugging, I am able to find out workaround on this issue and I am pretty much sure that this will helps you to overcome this problem.

Workaround:

1.      Access the SharePoint site by using the following URL:

http://<site url>/_layouts/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true

2.      Manually add the Sign in as Different User menu option to the SharePoint site. To do this, follow these steps:

·         Locate and then open the following file in a text editor: 

               C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server

               Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\Welcome.ascx 

·         Add the following element before the existing "ID_RequestAccess" element:

                                                                                                   

<SharePoint:MenuItemTemplate runat="server" ID="ID_LoginAsDifferentUser"

Text="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuser%>"

 Description="<%$Resources:wss,personalactions_loginasdifferentuserdescription%>"

 MenuGroupId="100"

 Sequence="100"

 UseShortId="true"

/>

Save the file.
