When you use the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) Active Directory Service Interfaces (ADSI) provider to query the metabase in Internet Information Services 6.0, you experience an application memory leak. The process leaks approximately 100 kilobytes (KB) of memory every time that the metabase is queried.
This issue occurs if the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) Server Extensions are installed on the computer.
