MaxConnections Metabase Property (IIS 6.0)
The MaxConnections property specifies the maximum number of simultaneous connections to a server. The valid range is 0 to 4294967295 (unlimited). The MaxClientsMessage property can be used to send a message to clients when this value has been exceeded.
The metabase represents unlimited as the DWORD value of 4294967295 (0xFFFFFFFF); however, Microsoft Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript) represents unlimited in hexadecimal format as &HFFFFFFFF. Previous versions of IIS represented unlimited as -1.
