Speed up the launch of the XenDesktop Delivery Services Console (DSC)

Posted on September 2nd, 2010

Sometimes the Delivery Services Console takes a long time to launch. This is due to a .NET delay in the authenticode signature component as described in Microsoft Article Q936707.

The following config file can be added to speed up the lauch of the Delivery Services Console.

• mmc.exe.config

Ensure the contents of the file contain the following:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<configuration>
<runtime>
<generatePublisherEvidence enabled=”false” />
</runtime>
</configuration>

Copy this file to the following locations:

• 32-bit server – c:\windows\system32
• 64-bit server – c:\windows\sysWOW64

   Hi Richard,

   is this applicable for Xendesktop 5 as well? while launching Desktop studio.

   Regards,

   I believe so. I have tested before on Appsense consoles and it certainly speeds them up. Although in those cases I have edited the appsense console “.config” file to add the relevant fields.
