Description
Enables and disables the policy that limits the size of roaming user profiles.
This entry stores the setting of the Limit profile size Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry with a value of 1 when you enable the policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes this entry from the registry, and the system behaves as though the value is 0.
Value |
Meaning |
|---|---|
0 (or not in the registry) |
The policy is disabled or not configured. The system does not limit the size of roaming user profiles. |
1 |
The policy is enabled. The system limits the size of roaming user profiles. A users cannot log off of the system if the profile exceeds the maximum size. |
If the value of this entry is 1 and a roaming user profile reaches the threshold established by the value of the MaxProfileSize entry, the user cannot log off until he or she reduces the profile to a permissible size. To aid the user, the system displays the files that make up the user profile, and it prompts the user to delete files from the list.
The values of related entries let you customize this feature by warning the user that the profile is too large before the user tries to log off.
Change method
To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Limit profile size Group Policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon/Logoff).
