Thanks for the replies, In German-speaking countries, they always use the surname first, terribly polite but quite confusing when you have a first name as a surname. So please call me Andy. :)
The calls are pretty small, using e.g. collection membership lookups, add/remove to collection or add new computer to sccm and the most seem to run ok. The one I had a problem with was a method that looked up all coll memberships for a computer and had no built in timeout handling. When more requests ran concurrently then the timeout of the query exceeded the default timeout of the asp/http. We have now built in a custom timeout in the method so that we can handle this. All the web methods call sdk methods. All virtual servers. Server generally runs well and I don't see any performance issues. I'd said we will have a few thousand web service calls per day. I am mitigating this perceived risk, by making sure web services run on a custom website and not the default website. I don't really want to have a separate server for everything. I have tested moving the webservices to another server and that works ok but then I need to run the apppool as a service account with admin rights on the remote smsprov. And I don't encrypt any data between webservice and smsprov as it was local hosted. My impression is that using a dedicated server is heavy handed. Your answers are really helpful to formulate my concept and risk docs. Thanks Andy Von: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] Im Auftrag von Trevor Sullivan Gesendet: Montag, 24.

Consider these questions: * What functionality did you expose via the web service? * Are they long-running operations? Short-running operations? * What services does the web service method rely upon? o Which services hosted locally vs. remotely? * What kind of hardware does the server have? * How heavy is the current load on the server without the web service? * How many web service calls are being created per second?

I am using web service functions more and more especially in OSD. Main points are whether it is sensible to use a separate dedicated server for this to avoid having too much http traffic on the smsprov server or if having it co-hosted impacts the performance either positively, negatively or not at all. I'm working just now on a site with around 10,000 Clients, deploying about 100 OS per day in rollout phase. (ConfigMgr 2012 SP1) Any thoughts very welcome Andy
