    • You install the IIS Metabase and IIS 6 configuration compatibility feature on a computer that is running Windows 7.
    • You install the IIS 6 Metabase Compatibility role service feature on a computer that is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
  • You run an application that uses the IIS Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) provider to retrieve some IIS metabase properties. For example, the application monitors the changes and settings of configurations for IIS websites.
In this scenario, a memory leak occurs in the application. Therefore, performance of the application may decrease.
