Hi,

Of course this approach was absolutely essential. Windows 2003 institutes
per-user files associations (actually per-user CLASSES). Brilliant for
registry security etc but at a cost with the average win2003 profile
(ntuser.dat) at least 2-3 times bigger. With the NT 4.0/win2k process,
scalability would have been halved.


Regards,

Rick

Exactly.  This is why you could only theoretically have no more than 100
users logged into a TS box at one time.  Microsoft has changed the way = the
users registry loads and where it is placed within RAM.

I think I can speculate.

If the constraint to the number of concurrent users that you can support =
is the registry size limitation in Windows NT or Windows 2000, then =
Microsoft has fixed it in Windows 2003 so that the registry size limit is no
= longer the constraint. Specifically, they have changed it so that the
registry lives in user memory now instead of system memory which means that
it = can grow without bumping into the constraints that it bumped into when
it = was part of the system memory.

I was at an MS technical seminar/gimme 1 piece of swag and a ton of junk
sessions yesterday and they claim Terminal Services in Windows 2003 will
support 70% more sessions.  Anyone believe that or seen it that can =
comment outside NDA (or anonymously post, <g>) about that claim?
