There is a bug in the IIS 7 user interface which prevents setting the idleTimeout property of an application pool when both the time (“Regular Time Interval (minutes)”) property and idleTimeout properties are set to zero.
A quick trip to the command line and the appcmd interface can solve the problem. The following command will set the idleTimeout property to 10 minutes.
appcmd set apppool "Application Pool Name" /processModel.idleTimeout:0.00:10:00
When properly executed, the command will output the following:
APPPOOL object "Application Pool Name" changed
