Which w3wp.exe PID corresponds to which application pool in IIS?

This blog post will show the different methods to identify the process ID (PID) for an active worker process (w3wp.exe) for an application pool

Method 1: - Internet Manager UI

• Open IIS Manager
• In the Connections pane, select the server node in the tree
• In Features View, double-click Worker Processes
• View the list of worker processes in the grid

Method 2: - Appcmd

Appcmd is used to list out the running worker processes. The path to the utility is not set and running directly from the command prompt will fail. Use the following instructions to set the path for the utility.

Location of appcmd.exe %systemroot%\system32\inetsrv

64-bit Windows, use Appcmd.exe from the %windir%\system32\inetsrv directory, not the %windir%\syswow64\inetsrv directory.

Set the path to the location

• Start -> Computer -> Right Click ->Properties
• Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables
• System Variables -> Path -> Edit
• Add C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv

To start Appcmd.exe

• Click Start, and then click All Programs.
• Click Accessories, and then click Command Prompt.
• At the Command Prompt, > cd %windir%\system32\inetsrv, and then press ENTER if the path is not set. Otherwise, enter appcmd on the command line

To List the started worker processes

>appcmd list wps

For complete listing of appcmds Listing of IIS 7+ Appcmd

Method 3: - Task Manager

• Start Task Manager
• Select the Processes tab
• Add the following columns from View->Select Columns
  • PID
  • Command Line

• Sort the Image column and find the w3wp.exe process name
• Expand the Command Line column and the worker process name is on the far right

Method 4: - Process Explorer

• Download Process Explorer from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
• In Process Explorer, add the following columns from View->Select Columns->Process Image tab
  • Image Path
  • PID
  • Image Type (64 vs. 32 bit)
  • Command Line

• Find the svchost.exe in the Process column and the w3wp.exe processes are listed
• Expand the Command Line column and the worker process is listed

Missing Site Templates while migrating to SharePoint 2013

Issue:The following sites are using templates that are not yet supported after upgrade

Eg:

 http://servername/samples/<sitename> - #0

 http://servername/samples/<sitename> - #1

 http://servername/samples/<sitename> - #2

 http://servername/samples/<sitename> - #3

Solution:

For this we need to check the site templates in both 14 and 15 hive folder.

We need to copy the missing site templates from 14 hive to 15 hive and also we must copy the site template related xml files (in 1033 folder )from 14 hive to 15 hive.

Cross farm Service Applications Integration between two separate SharePoint farms

Infopath's built in Username() function returning “i:0#.w|Domain\UserName” instead of just UserName

 I can modify the UserName() return string to display only the username as opposed to "i:0#.w|Domain\UserName"
 using substring-after function we can get only user name instead of "i:0#.w|Domain\UserName"

Eg:


Here I will use two controls one is "LoginUserFullName" ans second is "UserName"
 "LoginUserFullName" control has "i:0#.w|Domain\UserName" now am going to store the user name with out domain in "UserName"control by using substring-after(LoginUserFullName, "\")

UPS service Issue: While configuring the UPS, getting No permission of 'Replicating Directory Changes' at the parent domain(domain user name) for domain user name

Solutions:

Permission of 'Replicating Directory Changes'  to parent domain for UPS user.

Eg: Here am using system account for UPS configuration. If is there any more than one node in Active Directory(Parent and child) we need to provide permissions for system account in both nodes in AD.
