It might seem like a less good idea after you talk to your sys admins.  Let
me know if their heads explode.  ;-)

Installing OS on "external storage" (depending on what you mean by that) may
or may not be possible, depending on your OS, hardware, firmware, etc.

Of course, by some definitions, a "hot-pluggable" disk inside the server
(providing it is accessible without "cracking the case") qualifies as
"external storage".  By other definitions, your storage might not be
considered "external" unless it is possible (or maybe even *feasible*) to
house it on a different continent than the server.

Most definitions of "external" will lie somewhere in between.  ;-)

Alright.  You're worried about the registry.  So install the OS on
external storage, too.

Can't do that on Windows?  (Whether you can will depend a lot on what kind
of hardware you
are running on and what kind of external storage you are talking about.)
Maybe you might
want to consider an operating system that does not use a "registry"....
