# Remote Desktop Gateway Optimization (Preliminary)

Remote Desktop Gateway Optimizations:

- RDG requirement is to use IIS, it also uses for Application Pools, and are inter-related.
- As a result of inter-related application pools, the IIS App Pool Recycling is turned on. To keep RDG in memory, disable App Pool Recycling.
  - [https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.applicationhost/applicationpools/add/recycling/periodicrestart/](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/configuration/system.applicationhost/applicationpools/add/recycling/periodicrestart/)
- Optional Network Optimizations:
  - If using VMWare, use VMXNET3 (Do not use E1000 and E1000E)
  - Disable IPv6, QoS, and anything that has to do with packet shaping.
  - If VMQ is enabled on the VMW Host/Guest, disable it.
  - Increase the Maximum Input and Output threads to allow for multiple TCP threads inbound.
    - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Gateway\Maxiothreads (REG_DWORD) = 5
  - Increase those IIS Pool Threads:
    - HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\InetInfo\Parameters\MaxPoolThreads (REG_DWORD) = 4
    - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Rpc\ServerReceiveWindow (REG_DWORD) = 64kb
      - Adjust as need with a maximum of 1GB.
  - Disable TCP Offloading on the NIC: https://support.rackspace.com/how-to/disabling-tcp-offloading-in-windows-server-2012/
