Cannot See Worker Processes Icon in IIS

Question

When I look at the Features View for a site in IIS7.5 there is no icon for Worker Processes in the IIS group. Do I need to configure a setting or install a feature/role to make it appear?

Answer 1

To view a list of worker processes

1.You can perform this procedure by using the user interface (UI), by running Appcmd.exe commands in a command-line window, by editing configuration files directly, or by writing WMI scripts.

User Interface

To Use the UI...

Open IIS Manager.In the Connections pane, select the server node in the tree.In Features View, double-click Worker Processes.View the list of worker processes in the grid.

Answer 2

Had the same issue, finally found the solution.

To see the Worker Processes icon you have to click on the top level server node not an individual site.

Then you'll see all the processes and you can click on any of them to see the currently running pages.

Answer 3

"Open IIS Manager. In the Connections pane, select the server node in the tree."

This is the very top of the tree which may be a computer name / domain user name. Only while this node is selected will the Features View pane show the "Worker Processes" option. It may help to select Group By : "No Grouping" so that the worker processes option appears at the end of the list.
