How do I configure the Sharp iMFP software in IIS 7?
Create the SharpAppPool as described in the Sharp iMFP documentation
Right click on the new application pool and select "Advanced Settings"
Scroll down to Process Model\Idle Time-out (minutes) and set it to 0
Scroll down to Recycling\Regular Time Interval (minutes) and set that to 0
Click OK
Change permissions of SharpIMFP directory
If you find that the Sharp App Pool still can't connect to EDI, you may have a permissions issue. The permissions fix in the documentation lists the IIS_WPG group, which is absent in Server 2008. The same workflow of giving full control can be applied in 2008 to the IIS_IUSRS account instead.
