Jim Becher, a good friend and co-worker, has just released version 2 of IISReporter, a great tool for anyone who wants to be able to monitor their IIS servers. He hooked me up with a copy, and I was able to monitor the traffic over at Tourneytopia.com during March Madness, and see how many people are on the site at any given time - which was especially useful when we had a few minor fixes to get in while the entry window was open. I could wait until late at night, and once the site got down to less than 10 users, I would upgrade the site.

It worked out great, and if you have IIS servers that you monitor, I would definitely recommend getting a copy.

Jim also runs IISInfromation.com, a site with some pretty good information about IIS in general. He says he's got a couple of articles coming about compression, so maybe if enough people hound him, he'll get those posted!
