Making Application Pool Recycle When too much Memory is Consumed

Sometimes, when interacting with many or large domains and Secrets, the Secret Server application pool can consume more memory than desired. To fix this, you can edit your application pool settings.

First, open IIS Manager (start->run->inetmgr). Next, click on the "Application Pools" section on the left panel. Then, locate the application pool that is running Secret Server, right click on it, and select "Advanced Options". Scroll down to the "Recycling" section and set the "Private Memory Limit" to your desired value. We recommend limiting it to 1 gigabyte, but this depends on your server memory. Note that you should NOT set the "Virtual Memory Limit", as this will cause the application pool to recycle too often.
