Cheers Guys, I checked the link below out and we have the Sophos fix installed 
as of the 19th.

Sophos also recommended to add the regdll.exe to the authorised apps list which 
I did this morning, I then checked the citrix servers and about half of them 
were perfomring normally, but it actually looks like they were before I added 
the authorised app. Weve actually been getting around it anyway by running a VB 
script which unloads the user profile hives from hkey_user before the registry 
gets full

The other half are still not unloading the profiles from the registry. Just for 
addition, these servers also get a event ID 333 - An I/O operation initiated by 
the Registry failed unrecoverably

Im gonna give those failing citrix servers a reboot tonight to see the effect, 
but I still cant get confirmation as to whether its definetely a sophos issue. 
There must be someone else out there whose going through the same thing?

Subject: [THIN] User profile hives from registry not unloading - possible issue 
with sophos
 
Is anyone using sophos on their Citrix servers and started experiencing User 
profile hives not unloading from the registry? its started happening for us a 
couple of weeks ago, but just hit us hard over the last couple of days as the 
registry on a few of our Citrix servers filled up, leaving the servers 
unresponsive to new logons
 
Sophos is reporting dodgy activity in m:\windows\ps400hotfix\regdll.exe, so ive 
passed this onto sophos for false positive analysis, but the only citrix 
servers 
that arent showing this behaviour are 2 that are still needing a reboot after a 
sophos update that was pushed out to all the Citrix servers on 6th December. 
All 
the other Citrix servers have been rebooted since then.
