Adding multiple services at once

ArcCatalog and the Catalog window in ArcMap allow you to add more than one service to the server at one time. The default configuration will create pooled services with a minimum of one and a maximum of two instances and a high-process isolation that is recycled every 24 hours starting at midnight. You can change the configuration of a service through its property pages once you've added it to the server.

Steps:

1. Make an administrative connection to the GIS server.
2. Navigate the Catalog tree and locate the resources you want to add—for example, all the maps you want to add to the server.
3. Select the resources and drag and drop them onto the server.
