IIS Worker Process Availability
Applies To: Windows Server 2008
Internet Information Services (IIS) worker processes serve an application pool and can be in a starting, running, stopping, or unknown state. In IIS 7.0, worker processes are managed by WAS (the Windows Process Activation Service). If a worker process fails to respond, it may be recycled by WAS.
