3.13 IsolatedApps

Use this Knowledge Script to monitor isolated applications in a SharePoint Server 2007 environment. This Knowledge Script works with SharePoint Server 2007 and Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0 only.

An isolated application is a stand-alone application that adds functionality to a SharePoint site, such as a third-party product created for use with SharePoint. An isolated application runs out-of-process, directly from the Web Server. Typically, an isolated application shares its resources with other components in that application.

If several isolated applications run at the same time, SharePoint may not perform optimally. Monitoring the number of isolated applications can improve the performance of SharePoint. This script raises an event if the number of isolated applications exceeds the threshold you set.
