Hi,
Let's not confuse the profile file/directory size with the profiles registry
size footprint. Prifiles stored in the local documents and settings folder do
NOT contribute to registry size. Only logged on sessions do that.
The registry can get bloated if the machine software hive gets too big
(fragmentation, registry key gowth), you have too many users (each logged on
user's ntuser.dat size gets added to the total registry size) or the users
registry profile (ntuser.dat on disk) gets too big because of registry key
growth, eg per-user file associations.
On win2k you don't want a software hive over about 35 MB, and individual
ntuser.dat file sizes over about 1.2-1.5 MB. If they're bigger then you've got
some work to do.
regards,
Rick

I do not have the profiles set to delete at logoff, periodically I use
delprof to clean them up. I ran that on some servers, cleaned out a lot of
roaming profiles, but still the registry remains large. Will it require a
reboot to fix?

I wouldn't have thought that files in the profile would contribute to
the registry size. Isn't ntuser.dat the registry component? My profile went up
to 2.5GB once, thanks to an overzealous database admin. It took a while to load
but got there in the end.
Are your profiles unloading properly? If the profiles are staying on
the machine at logoff, perhaps they are staying in the registry as well.

I thought 100 would be fine, and it was....
Now searching and finding someone turned up some log files,
which copy to the %system32%\winnt folder, in this case, the users windows
folder.....finding several hundred K extra per user.... Typical roaming
profile is between 300-600K. Now several in the 3+ MB.

I thought I was being generous at 120MB. It never normally
breaches 60MB with 50 users.

Suddenly my registry on my servers is becoming full.
It is set to 100MB.
What is the suggested size?
