An Internet Information Services (IIS) worker process is a windows process(w3wp.exe) which runs Web applications, and is responsible for handling requests sent to a Web Server for a specific application pool. |
On creation of a new application pool, a security identifier (SID) is created by the IIS management process. This SID takes on the name of the application pool itself.
