IISReset Bad for your IIS Health?

Ken.Robertson.Blog - IISReset corrupting the IIS metabase

"... David Wang, refers to a blog post, which intern links to a newsgroup post about some of the potential caveats to using iisreset and its potential to lose configuration information.

In short, iisreset is bad. Running it on production servers is especially bad, since it’d be best to just recycle the app pool. But even on development machines using just Windows XP (and IIS 5.1), it can still cause problems. You maybe fire off iisreset to quickly restart an application and get back to work, only find it is now not responding and you have to stop your coding marathon to now figure out what happened and how to resolve it."

Good to know...

I use IISReset all the time and never worried that it could be "a bad thing."
