This definitely appears to be my issue. There is a sub key in the one
mentioned below and it has 10's of thousands of mappings in there.

From what I can tell there is a fix for this issue but it does not
appear that the KB has been published yet. Here is a workaround for this
issue, if you want the hotfix you would have to call MS and ask for
hotfix 906952, the default user hive in %systemroot%\system32\config may
become excessive in size ( > 5Mb) due to registry values not being
removed upon logoff in HKEY_USERS\.default\printers. The values will
have the following format
'\\%ClientName%\%PrinterName% (from %ClientName%) in session
x,localspl'

OK
I was going to mention an age old issue where the registry would
increase with entries that contained users temp folder and they were
never purged. This was running Office 97 or Office 2000 and using forms.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID would be full of entries.
I would definately agree with Bruce and his observations.
The other thing would be to allow the servers to get to a certain point
and then rather than wasting time blow them away and redeploy using with
an up to date Ghost Image or Scripted build.

Nope, XP was/is the only installed version.

I've tried the registry tweaks and cannot get these 2
servers > 250 MB registry size. These servers only have 2 gigs of RAM,
so I guess that's the most they can get. The key seems to be reducing
the default key... somehow

Hey Evan,
A server w/ 4GB would have a theoretical maximum of 360
MB but with Terminal server enabled, it goes down to 160MB. The registry
will put the amount of paged pool memory back to 328MB of paged pool
memory.
Resolution:
Implement the following registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session
Manager\Memory Management
"PoolUsageMaximum"=dword:00000030
"PagedPoolSize"=dword:ffffffff
Restart
Ark

I have a 198meg default registry hive on a 2000 SP4 TS
server. Is there some effective way to greatly reduce this? I'm having
major issues getting users logged in because of registry size keeps
bumping up against the maximum
