Registry key being overwritten?

Can anybody think of any group policy that could mess with the
RegistrySizeLimit registry value? If we change the value, and the
computer policy is refreshed, it goes back to its old value. I have no
idea what group policy could be doing this, any ieas?
 
If you run "gpresult -v >output.txt" at the command line it should show you
every policy setting that is applying.

If that doesn't show any policies applying that setting, you could check all
policy folders .adm files for that reg key being listed but that could be
painfully time consuming depending on how many policies you have.

Personally, I would start by running a regmon trace (www.sysinternals..com).
Watch the reg key and identify when it's being overwritten. Then try to
identify what process might be doing it.

If you want to post the gpresult output that would be very helpful.
