I need to add second site to a production server running IIS and CF. Two questions. 1. In wsconfig.exe's Configured Web Sites dlg, if I just add the new site, without doing Remove All then Add All, will that interrupt traffic on the production site? I'm not there any more, but I think the binding is currently set up for All now, not individual sites. 2. Does the IIS site have to be running while I do this? It's currently not, since I'm not done setting it up.
@sandeep @Vikram Kumar Could you please weigh in on these questions while Mark is out. Thank you.
Anybody?

I think when running wsconfig it normally asks to restart the iis website in question. So presumably yes there would be some interruption.

Seems an easy one to test though on a staging or test setup

Do you think CF restarts when you do this, or just IIS, or just the IIS site you're modifying? Would you think users would lose their session if IIS restarts, but CF doesn't?
Re testing, the IIS restart is quick, I'm not sure I can reliably tell if access was interrupted briefly.

Just iiis for sure
There will be a brief iis interrupt but generally it is pretty darn quick
Well if it asks to restart iis and you say yes then I would expect some interrupt
But defo no CF restart

So cf sessions should still be intact?

@Dave Merrill sessions will be ok as it is the equivalent of doing an
iis reset
command

Thanks, that's what I suspected, and that I can test in dev.
