This article details configuration changes that might improve the log on and application enumeration performance in StoreFront.

Instructions

Complete the following steps to improve the log on and application enumeration performance in StoreFront:

1. Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

   1. Open Network Interface Adapter properties.

   2. Click Advanced… to open the properties window for TCP/IP. 

      

   3. In the WINS tab, select Disable NetBIOS over TCP/IP radio button.

      

      For more information refer to Do I need NetBIOS?

2. To improve StoreFront logging time, perform the changes to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\aspnet.config.

   1. Copy the aspnet.config file and paste it in a different location to safely modify the contents.

   2. Edit the aspnet.config file by adding following line to the run time sections:

      <runtime>
      <generatePublisherEvidence enabled=”false” />
      </runtime>
      
      

      Note: Do not perform a copy and paste from this article, manually type the information provided. A copy and paste can result in an error such as HTTP 503 Service Unavailable (the Application Pool will show that it is in a stopped state).

   3. Rename the current aspnet.config file in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\.

   4. Paste the modified aspnet.config file.

   5. Run IISRESET to apply the changes.

   6. Open the IIS Management Console and ensure that Default Web Site and the Application Pool services are running.

      Note: The generatePublisherEvidence=false has no effect on load times after .Net 4.x. From StoreFront 2.6 .Net 4.x is used and hence this step does not help. For more information refer to the remarks section of <generatePublisherEvidence> Element.

3. Enable socket pooling for StoreFront 3.x. For more information refer to Citrix Documentation -  Enable socket pooling. 

Other factors can affect the speed of StoreFront.
