The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft ASP.NET (included with the .NET Framework) 1.0
This article was previously published under Q321468

SUMMARY

Out-of-process session state modes are not supported when you run Microsoft Windows Powered server appliances. This includes SqlServer and StateServer modes.

Microsoft server products for scale-out ASP.NET applications with needs for out-of-process session storage are Windows 2000 Server and later. The Windows Powered Web server has been targeted at scale-out scenarios where use of out-of-process session state is not required. As a result, that feature has not been implemented on the Windows Powered operating system. For customers who build scale-out enterprise applications, Microsoft recommends that they use ASP.NET with Web Farm session state on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

MORE INFORMATION

If you configured the session state mode to SqlServer or StateServer for your Web application, you receive the following error message:
Parser Error Message: Out-of-process and SQL Session State are not supported in this version of the OS.
