FIX: Slow performance when you request access to files in an IIS 7.5 virtual directory that points to a UNC share

View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You create a virtual directory that points to a Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path of a shared folder share on Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.5.
  • You enable the Output Caching feature in IIS 7.5.
  • You have files in the shared folder. The sizes of the files are larger than the Maximum cached response size limit of the Output Caching feature.
  • The server that is running IIS 7.5 receives a request that requests access to the files.
In this scenario, the server takes more time to send a response than expected.

Note This issue does not occur in Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0.

Cause

This issue occurs because of an error in the static file handler.

When this error occurs, the static file handler incorrectly registers an FCN handler to monitor the UNC share even when FCNs are disabled on the computer. Therefore, many FCNs have to be processed if many UNC-share files are changed, and the issue that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section occurs.

Note To disable FCNs on the computer, set the following registry entry to the binary value of 0:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\InetInfo\Parameters\DoDirMonitoringForUNC
