IIS 7.0 ASP.Net 3.5 Application fails when multiple users log on

I have an ASP.Net 3.5 Application hosted on Windows Server 2008 machine using IIS 7. There is a seperate application pool for this application. The problem I have is that as soon as 2-3 users access website simultaneously, it starts throwing exceptions on almost any task performed say e.g. an exception during logging in the user using built in aspnet_membership. The same things work fine when there is only one user using it. Any suggestions what things I need to test for? Thanks, Ali

The first thing I do when setting up a website of this nature is to uncouple the session state from InProc to StateServer. Oftentimes I find that an application recycle or even an application level exception can cause the w3wp.exe process to crash and reload which dumps session errors. As with @Arce Brito's recommendation, you should do everything you can to find the root cause of the exception as decoupling the session will really only mask the symptom.

I had some problem like this for some web-application, but in my case I was using IIS 6.0. After analyzing the application by means of some DevPartner tools for analyzing memory usage we realize that some components were consuming excessive resources, by replacing the toolkit we were using for simple .Net controls the applications stop crashing. Most of the crashes are due to problems in code. Also check the web config in the following points: sessionState, authentication. Disable custom errors (customErrors) to view the error details. See the application event's log to check the error description.
