The ASP.NET State Service improves performance by maintaining session data between the server and client(s). To enable it, access the Services dialog on the machine you’ve designated for the Web site. Locate the service named, ASP.NET State Service, and set the Startup Type to Automatic. If the service is not currently running, start the service. You may now exit the Services dialog.
Access the Internet Information Services dialog on the same machine. This can be found from within the Administrative Tools section of the Control Panel or inside the Management dialog of My Computer (right-click, Manage). Expand the computer-name node to reveal the Web Sites node. Continue expanding until you locate the ContentCentral node. Access the properties of Content Central (right-click, properties) and select the ASP.NET tab. Select the Edit Configuration button. When the ASP.NET Configuration Settings dialog appears, select the State Management tab. Choose the StateServer option from the Session state mode drop down list.
If you would like to also enable ASP.NET Impersonation (the next optimization), remain in this dialog and skip to the next section. Otherwise, select the OK button to save the ASP.NET configuration settings. Select the OK button to save the changes to the Content Central Web site. You may now exit the Internet Information Services dialog.
