limit profile size - how to overcome 30000kb limit
Piotr Majcher
I have this issue: I had to limit the size of roaming profiles and I did it
via GP Administrative Templates\System\User Profiles limit profile size
setting
but recently I had to increase the size of allowed profiles to 100mb and the
surprise
came because windows doesn't allow any size more than 30000
is there any way to change this behaviour?
And I am wondering what is the point in limiting this value? :o
any help would be appreciated

PART !!ProfileSize NUMERIC REQUIRED SPIN 100
VALUENAME "MaxProfileSize"
DEFAULT 30000
MAX 30000
MIN 300
END PART
I would try changing the MAX value to 100000 in the adm file and then used
the revised version to modify the GPO.
Best guess on why they do this is the amount of bandwidth needed to push a
change back and timeout values. (meaning I would hate to see a 100MB profile
push back across a cheesy WAN circuit)

first of all I'd like to thank you for your time
i have one more question regarding this issue, you pointed me
to modify adm file but which sysstem.adm file shoud i modify?
I guess the one that corresponds with the policy I am modifying, am i right?
when i looked for *.adm files windows showed me a lot of them
i checked identifiers and there are 2 system.adm files that correponds with
the
policy i am modifying one is located in
C:\WINDOWS\sysvol\sysvol\wszim.pl\Policies\{B02B758D-5D2B-4BAD-84C7-066BE1CDF353}\Adm
the other one is located in
C:\WINDOWS\sysvol\domain\Policies\{B02B758D-5D2B-4BAD-84C7-066BE1CDF353}\Adm
I believe it doesn't matter which one I am modifying because they are
wirtually the same files and windows replicates them between these two
locations, right?

That doesn´t matter, you only have to make sure, that you
import _your_ modified system.adm to the GPO, where it should
be used.
Every GPO has an own "container" (folder - GUID\ADM) where
it stored its adm templates.

it seems like it works so the problem is solved! case closed
Mark I have one more question for you according other issue
What is the default adm template for new policies?
Some time ago when i created new GPOs all the setting where presented in
english
now when I create new GPOs they present all the settings in my native
language -polish :( i do not like polish translations so i would like to
return to english GPOs) is it possible? i believe the change from english to
polish occured when I installed SP2 on one of my XP workstations and after
that I used GPMC to administer GPOs and probably during that time the
"language upgrade" took place.
so generally i would like to have GPO settings presented in English when I'm
modifying GPOs.

It愀 always the *.adm from the client or DC from where
you first create and modify the GPO.
They are copied from the local %systemroot%\inf to the
%sysvol%\...\{GUID of GPO}\ADM

I think, thats because you use an englisch Server (I guess 2000) and
now you are working with GPMC from an polish XP Pro.
As mentioned above, as a default behavior, the group policy editor
first uses the local *.adm to import them.
But there is another default behavior, that can make a little bit
trouble, or lets say it shows a little bit strange behavior ...
If you open an existing GPO from a client, that holds newer ADM Templates,
than these templates are automatically imported and the ADM files
are updated.
You can manage this behavior with a GPO:
user config\system\group policy
"Turn off automatic update "

Yepp. Just import the english ones again.
