Overview

The <system.applicationHost> element contains global configuration settings that are used by the Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) in Internet Information Services (IIS) 7. This element defines many of the server-level configuration settings in the IIS 7 ApplicationHost.config file.

Of significant importance, the <system.applicationHost> element contains the configuration settings for the <applicationPools> and <sites> collections, which respectively define the collection of application pools and Web sites on an IIS 7 server.

Note

Unlike the settings that are found in <system.webServer>, settings in the <system.applicationHost> element cannot be delegated.
