I am receiving the Message: Windows: Low on Registry Space. The system has

reached the maximum sized allowed for the system part of the registry.

Additional Storage requests will be ignored.

 

Started to receive this message after restoring some files.

 

OS: Windows Server 2003 w/SP2 and latest hotfixes

 

Have 3 GB of memory, and page file size of 6 GB.

 

System will not come up for users to access the server.

Any ideas?

 

Thanks

RE: Low on Registry Space

 

Hello Don,

There are acouple of possible causes for this.

1) Check if we have a value called RegistrySizeLimit created under the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control. This isn't created by

default

2) there is an application\driver that is writing values to the registry

until the maximum size is reached.

There are limits to how large the registry hives can get.

See this article

302594 The System hive memory limitation is improved in Windows Server 2003

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;302594

 

What is the size of the \windows\system32\config\system file?

 

Thanks,

Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

RE: Low on Registry Space

 

Hello,

It's not 1 or 2 then.

2 is well below the maximum.

Take a look at this location

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{28d78fad-

5a12-11d

1-ae5b-0000f803a8c2}\##?#Root#RDPDR#0000#{28d78fad-5a12-11d1-ae5b-0000f803a8

c2}

How many entries below it?

 

What is the value on this key

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceClasses\{28d78fad

-5a12-11

d1-ae5b-0000f803a8c2}\##?#Root#RDPDR#0000#{28d78fad-5a12-11d1-ae5b-0000f803a

8c2}\Con

trol]

"ReferenceCount"=dword:00000000

 

Thanks,

Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
