Webconsole

IIS7
SCM Dashboard
Security Manager Reporting
6.5

Situation

What this has to do with Security Manager is that if SSRS (Security Manager Reporting) is on 64-bit and SM Web console or SCM dashboard is installed on same machine. It will host either all 64 bit apps or all 32 bit apps. However, in IIS 7 in which mode is per pool. IIS 7, can run dual mode. For a how to configure IIS 7 for dual mode 64- bit and 32-bit see below.
How to Configure IIS7 to Run 32-bit and 64-bit ASP.NET versions on the same machine for Security Manager Dashboard, SCM Dashboard, and Security Manager Console.

Resolution

In IIS7, 32-bit and 64-bit worker processes can run simultaneously.

 

The same enable32BitAppOnWin64 property for the applicationPools in the applicationHost.config. Now, set this for individual application pools. Below is a sample configuration:

<applicationPools>
<add name="MyAppPool32bit" autoStart="true" enable32BitAppOnWin64="true" />
<add name="MyAppPool64bit" autoStart="true" enable32BitAppOnWin64="false" />
<applicationPoolDefaults>
<processModel identityType="NetworkService" />
</applicationPoolDefaults>
</applicationPools>

Below is for IIS7 Manager:

Right click on the Application Pool and select ?Advanced Settings?? or select the same from the Actions pane after selecting the Application pool
Change the ?Enable 32-bit Applications? to True (if you want the application pool to spawn in a 32-bit mode)
Click OK


To verify if the process is really spun in a 32-bit mode in 64-bit Operating System. Open the Task Manager and go to Processes tab ? and see the below:

w3wp.exe *32 - Network Service - 00 - 18,616K - 52 K - IIS Worker Process
