Session State on Load Balanced Web Site

[Robin9876]

When created a Session State database from Asp.Net v2 that is to be
used by a web site that is on servers that are windows load balanced.

Does any other configuration changes need to be made to allow the
session state to be used across the multiple web servers?

yes there are several issues. you must use the same machine keys, and the
site ids in iis must be the same.

machine key:

site id:
