Assuming that your current environment is configured correctly with Windows 2012 R2 and IFD, then you can simply update the server to support WCF compression and improve performance for CRM 2015 and outlook. Enable compression by manually updating the ApplicationHost.Config 1. On the CRM Server Navigate to: C:\Windows\System32\Inetsrv\Config\applicationHost.config and open it with notepad. 2. Search for the Section: “<dynamicTypes>” and in that section you should fine an entry that looks like this:  <add mimeType=”application/x-javascript” enabled=”true” />  3.  Below that, add the following line:  <add mimeType=”application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8″ enabled=”true” />  4.
