The Application Restarts counter won't work right on Windows 2003. Poor
reading on my part. Sorry about that.
Does everyone lose Session state when this happens?
You can tell if it really is Session timing out by adding some logging code
to the Session_End event. You can also track application restarts by
adding logging code to the Application_End event.
If you still can't get the data you need, you can open a case with us and
we'll help you configure an HttpModule that we can use to log application
restarts.

| I ran perfmon in our test environment (the problem occurs here too, win
2003,
| 2 processors) on the asp.net v1.1.4322 object and did not see the
application

| hours.
|
| Yes, we are using forms authentication and the timeout value is in the
forms
| section:
| <sessionState cookieless="false" timeout="240" mode="InProc" />
| <authentication mode="Forms">
| <forms name="AUTH" loginUrl="login.aspx" protection="All"
| timeout="240"></forms></authentication>
|
| How can I tell if the formauthenticationticket expires? Is there
anything
| else we can try? Would switching to state server fix this issue if it is
not
| a app restart issue that is causing the problem in inproc mode?
