I am running a free hosting service on IIS5, for which I have written a custom control panel that uses Active Directory to manage all sites, members, directories etc.
I noticed a big performance drop in ADSI after I reached 700 virtual servers.
I am now running almost 2000 virtual servers, but then IIS5 should be able to handle 5000 webservers according to Microsoft technet.
It now takes several minutes to query the IIS metabase and return results and I have to increase timeouts to 500seconds, which means it takes ages to edit any website.
My ADSI admin scripts are .DLL's written in C++ which I use via ColdFusion as CFX tags.
Sure ADSI should be more scable than this as it is meant for managing entire server farms and intranets.
