WarnUser

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

Data type Range Default value
REG_DWORD 0 | 1 0

Description

Determines when the system notifies users that their roaming user profile is too large.

This entry stores the setting of the Notify user when profile storage space is exceeded check box in the Limit profile size Group Policy. Group Policy adds this entry to the registry when you enable the Limit profile size policy. If you disable the policy or set it to Not configured, Group Policy deletes this entry from the registry and the system does not regulate the size of roaming user profiles.

Value Meaning
0 The check box is cleared. The system notifies users when they try to log off.
1 The check box is selected. The system notifies users as soon as it detects that their profile exceeds the permitted maximum size. If the user does not resolve the problem, the system notifies the user when they try to log off.

When the value of EnableProfileQuota is 1, and a roaming user profile exceeds the threshold established by the value of MaxProfileSize, system does not let the user log off until they reduce their profile to a permissible size.

The WarnUser entry lets you notify users in advance that their profile is too large. When the value of this entry is 1, the system displays the message specified by the value of ProfileQuotaMessage. The message is repeated at a rate determined by the value of WarnUserTimeout.

Change method

To change the value of this entry, use Group Policy. This entry corresponds to the Limit profile size policy (User Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon/Logoff). Select or clear the Notify user when profile storage space is exceeded check box.

Note Image Note

This entry is used only when the Limit profile size policy is enabled, that is, when the value of EnableProfileQuota is 1.
