Under IIS6 you’ll have a worker process for each application pool defined on your server, ie multiple w3wp.exe listed in task manager. If you’re running each pool as a different identity then it’s pretty easy to identify which worker process belongs to which application pool via the username column, if not - drop into DOS and go to the Windows system32 folder and enter:


cscript iisapp.vbs


And you’ll get an output screen showing you the processID and the application pool that spawned that worker process.
