Increase size of registry (cmd line tool?)

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?S=F8ren_Schimkat?=]

Hi Gyus

I need to increase the size of the registry during a unattended
installation. Does anyone know how to do that? Is there a command line
tool for doing that?

Problem solved:


Command:
--------------------------------------------------------
regedit.exe /s RegistrySizeLimit.reg
--------------------------------------------------------



RegistrySizeLimit.reg:

OK. I don't think you change the size of the registry. You change its maximize setting. Is that what you want to do?

This isn't a remote tool. But I was just seeing if I could find a script to determine max reg size. I also noticed in the Microsoft Knowledge Base that there is an issue when modifying the registry info remotely:

I suppose this has more info:

Actually, it IS a remote tool; see the "--remote" switch.

It is just a simple Perl script to invoke the appropriate WMI
interfaces. Translating it to an inferior scripting language should
be trivial.

Incidentally, using regedit to patch the registry directly is the
worst idea of all. WMI is a standardized interface, guaranteed to
work both now and in the future. Registry hacks are unsupported by
Microsoft, and could stop working with any release of Windows.

Hi Pat.

I just looked at your link at the bottom of your e-mail. Neat place for some utilities. I just took a stab in the dark and found that page for that Perl script. I really didn't look it over when I sent the link to the Microsoft site. Thanks for pointing out to me my mistake. I just assumed Perl had to be installed on the client.
