% Registry Quota In Use Performance Monitor counter = 100% - server 2003 SP2 Enterprise 32 bit

I first posted this in May, but can't find that post in these newsgroups
anymore.

We've since found a solution, which is to set the registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\RegistrySizeLimit

to hex ffffffff.

Since making the above setting on all the Terminal Servers, we have not had
this problem again.

The symptoms were:
1. when logging on to a Terminal Server, the user gets told that their
Roaming Profile can not be loaded
2. Performance Monitor shows that the % Registry Quota counter is at 100%
3. Application Event Log entries:
Source: Userenv
Event ID: 1505
Description: Windows cannot load the user's profile but has logged you
on with the default profile for the system.
Detail - Insufficient system resources exist to complete the
requested service.

Please allow me to give you my 2 cents worth about your "forums". They
suck to high hell! If Microsoft is going to abandon NNTP in favour of
incredibly awkward and clunky web forums I suspect that many of the
helpers and respondents in these groups will stop participating in the
online help groups. It won't be the first time that Microsoft misreads
public opinion... Excuse me for voicing my opinion but at times it seems
that Microsoft has a knack for deliberately annoying its customers!

Hear, hear!! I agree wholeheartedly! I don't understand why some
people/department/team in Microsoft are abandoning newsgroups.

For a completely unrelated issue, I got the same message and actually posted
in the (Group Policy) forum to get help with an issue. My experience with
those "Forums" matches yours - slow, clumsy and very inconvenient!

Hopefully, some of the MVPs, such as you, will be heard and someone will
come to their senses! Microsoft really needs to listen to their customers
and those providing (free) help to those customers about this.

Not sure why Mervyn actually posted in this thread because I'm posting a
solution, not a problem!
