Max registry size is too small even after increasing the max size

Hello,
I have a Win2000 SP4 Citrix MF 1.8 server that has run fine for a couple of
years until a week ago when I had to start increasing the max registry size
multiple times from 62M. I eventually set it to 200M (with many reboots
since) and the size has stopped growing at around 125M even though I still
get the errors. I have tried compacting the registry by using the option
when creating an ERD disk. I get many errors which I assume are due to the
registry size issue. I am not aware of any significant installs/changes that
would cause this. All critical patches are installed including some of the
recommended 2000 updates. I even edited the registry to change the registry
size and it was a little over 1/3 of the pagepool size. I saw a reference
about an issue with terminal server licensing that can cause the registry to
grow but I wasn't sure which key to export to verify it isn't over 500KB. I
am considering restoring the server back a couple of weeks but I am not
certain that the problem won't come back. Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rich
 
Do you use roaming profiles and do you delete roaming profiles at logoff?

Users profiles are loaded into the registry at logon and can be a
significant part of this registry size. I'd suggest deleting roaming
profiles at logoff and keeping profiles as small as possible (i.e. don't
save files to your desktop).
