Lanman workstation importance in Network systems

 This key is where all the configuration data for the Workstation service is stored. The lanmanworkstation key by default, looks like this on a freshly installed Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 machine

As you can see, there’s no “Autotuned Parameters” here. However, there is a "parameters" sub key in which we can do some tuning. It is not uncommon (especially in Terminal Server environments) to have to tune the Workstation service to alleviate performance problems. This is due to the nature of Terminal Servers. My article on MSTerminal Services.org discusses this in detail, but in a nutshell it’s like this: the workstation service was (and is) designed for a single workstation (like your desktop). However, a Terminal Server can easily host 50 desktop sessions, but unless you do manually intervene this server most likely is still configured just as your desktop would be. It’s pretty obvious that this could lead to some performance problems.

Parameters
Although there aren’t that many important parameters like in lan manserver, there are still a few parameters of the Workstation service you should definitely know about.

MaxCmds
Specifies the maximum number of network control blocks that the redirector can reserve. The value of this entry coincides with the number of execution threads that can be outstanding simultaneously. Increase this value to improve network throughput, especially if you are running applications that perform more than 15 operations simultaneously.
