Does this happen when joining a new MOSS server to a farm? Does it happen when disconnecting MOSS server from a farm? Thanks Jonj

Hi, Thanks to share your post. For the issue, as my opinion these won’t happen, if you should not happen only if you follow the correct steps of the app pool recycles: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/joelo/archive/2007/10/29/sharepoint-app-pool-settings.aspx. Also look at this article for references: http://sharepointmagazine.net/articles/sharepoint-farm-configuring-and-deployment-part-2-installation-configuration. Hope this could help you! Leo
