After installing Citrix XenApp/XenDesktop roles such as StoreFront, Delivery Controller, VDA on servers, the setup installation adds several new performance counters that you can access and use via Performance Monitor. Some of the counters will be specific to the role you install so the counters available to each machine will vary.

StoreFront as the Default IIS Page and optimizations
The option to make StoreFront (pre SF3.5) Receiver for Web the default page/document in IIS simply does not exist within the StoreFront console like it used to back in legacy Web Interface. What I mean is that if I was to browse to my StoreFront server via https://storefront I’d get the iisstart.htm IIS 8.5 page.
Optimising the Citrix Receiver experience
You know what a lot of people do when installing products. They install a product, configure the minimum settings to get it working, walk away once it’s working.
The same applies to products such as XenApp & XenDesktop. Most of the time we publish applications and desktops to StoreFront with little to no extra configuration.
I think although we don’t need to use them, we should atleast be aware of some of the tweaks you can make. I will describe some briefly below, beginning with Workspace Control.
