How do I set the Classic ASP Session timeout in IIS 8.5 using powershell?

I've taken a look at using Set-WebConfigurationProperty but can't work out how to use it correctly.

A question: does a simple asp script run or did you try existing pages with includes?

<% Response.Write "Hello, world!" %>

Since you're getting a 500 server error now, could be a sign that something is wrong with your script. Maybe you forgot to enable the Windows Feature (WWW / Application Development Features) "Server-Side Includes"?

It could be a security issue of the application pool account as well. I found this article: loadUserProfile and IIS7 - understanding temporary directory failures. It could be a similar problem.

Check the web garden settings for the app pool. If it's greater than 1, the site will run in more than 1 worker process. Session state in Classic ASP depends on a single instance of the in process memory. It's very rare that the web garden needs to be set to anything other than 1.

A webfarm with round-robin load balancing would have the same issue but your post doesn't suggest that you have that.
