Do you have Epicor 10 installed and configured, but are experiencing slow speeds? Follow these four easy steps to help Epicor 10 run faster in any environment.

3. Windows TCPChimney Disabled – This setting is enabled by default and has been known to cause issues on SQL server systems regarding general network errors and trimming. To set these on the SQL server, follow these steps:

4. Setting the correct TempDB files – This is used to reduce the TempDB contention to maintain multiple-sized TempDB data files, matching the number of processors up to 8.

• To see the number of processors, execute the following SQL query:

• The above image shows that I have four processors, so I will create four TempDB files.
• Right click the TempDB database and go to ‘Properties’. Go to ‘Files’ and add three additional files as seen below:
