SUMMARY
In Internet Information Services (IIS) 6.0, an ISAPI filter that has been added at the site level does not load until the Web server has served at least one request to that site. IIS 5.0 loads a site filter dynamically as soon as it is added to the site, regardless of whether a request has been made to the site.



MORE INFORMATION
When an ISAPI filter is added to a site on IIS 6.0, the status column for that filter in the IIS Microsoft Management Console (MMC) is empty. Until a request is made for the site and an attempt is made to load the filter, the status of the filter is not known. After the request is made and the status of the filter is determined, a red arrow appears in the IIS MMC if the filter did not load, or a green arrow appears if the filter loaded successfully.
