Hi all,

I want to update machine.config file on production server. On server
some other .net applicatins and windows serivices are running.

If i update machin.config will it create problem for other application
runnig on server.

Or do i need to stop all application first and then update
machine.config and then restart these application..

And if application is running and i updated machine.config will updated
setting gets applied to application or it will consider original
setting?.
Can anyone help me.

thanks in advance.

Updating your machine.config will cause all web applications on the
server to "recycle" their AppDomains, causing them to reload their new
configurations.

Hi,

thanks for your reply.

Does it means it will not create problem for other already running
application?. All application will automatically take latest changes
applied in machine.config file?

Because i am updating machine.config according to article given on
support.microsoft.com to solve one of my issue.

thanks
