Iis – How to find out which AppPool is associated with which w3wp Process

iiswindows-server-2008

I used to do this:

How to attach to the correct process
in IIS6

IIS6 uses seperate process for each
AppPool, usefully these all have the
same name – w3wp.exe.

To determine which AppPool? the
application is using right
click>properties on the directory in
InetMgr? and look at the AppPool list
at the bottom.

To determine which process matches
which AppPool type the following at
the command prompt:

iisapps.vbs

You may get a message box asking if
you want to change your default
VBScript provider to CScript. If for
some reason you don't, type:

cscript iisapps.vbs

This will list the process ids for
each app pool, then all you have to do
is match the process id in visual
studio's attach to process screen.

Example:

W3WP.exe PID: 5124 AppPoolId:
SharePoint – 80 W3WP.exe PID: 4236
AppPoolId: DefaultAppPool W3WP.exe
PID: 728 AppPoolId: SharePoint
Central Administration v3 W3WP.exe
PID: 4128 AppPoolId: ReportServer

But this doesnt seem to work on Server 2008. Is there a better method?
