Just compressed the folder and it is still the same size! Damn
I have noticed in the event log the time is out of sync with the domain
controller by about 11 mins and the machine is reporting a problem applying
the group policy.
There was also an error in the system log about the server time being to far
out of sync with the domain controller. Here are a few of the error messages:
- Windows cannot determine the user or computer name. (Access is denied. ).
Group Policy processing aborted.
- Windows cannot query for the list of Group Policy objects. Check the event
log for possible messages previously logged by the policy engine that
describes the reason for this. (the previous message is the one about the
time being too far out of sync with the domain controller)
- Windows cannot access the file gpt.ini for GPO
CN={31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9},CN=Policies,CN=System,DC=nmspace,DC=net.
The file must be present at the location
<\\mydomain.net\sysvol\mydomain.net\Policies\{31B2F340-016D-11D2-945F-00C04FB984F9}\gpt.ini>.
(Configuration information could not be read from the domain controller,
either because the machine is unavailable, or access has been denied. ).
Group Policy processing aborted.
Do you think these issues are related or am I barking up the wrong tree?
Thanks, getting in urgent need now :-(

I don't know the specific impact of compressing this folder, but would be.
very concerned with changes to it on a IIS production box. You need to know
more about how/why IIS is creating so many keys.
When I need space I go after the NTuninstall directories in the %systemroot%
these aren't huge (a few mb each on average) but you may have 100+. I'll
keep the last month or two and remove the rest. It's not a long term fix but
may buy you some time to figure something else out.
If you're eating up 50mb a day you need a far more dramatic change than
compressing some folders.

Hi there,
I am running a number of windows 2003 sp1 web servers. I am running
low on disk space on the system disc on one of them. Down to about 195 mb
today from 250mb yesterday.
After exploring the different folders i have come across a rather large
folder that is 1 gb in size and contains over 300,000 files. The
folder is here:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Microsoft\Crypto\rsa\machine keys
Does anyone know what this folder contains or why it is so big. On
another similar server the same folder is only 116k and contains 29
files.
I am running IIS with a large number of sites and some of them have SSL
certificates attached to them. I have recently added two new certificates to
the server in the past few days and i think this is why is has dropped a bit
in the past few days.
As i am drastically running out of room is it ok just to compress this
folder? Can anyone offer any tips on how to reduce the size of this folder?
I don't want to delete the folder as i'm sure the machine will grind to a
halt!
Any tips much appreciated. Getting a bit urgent now. Got to start
compressing the folder about 19:00 gmt.
Cheers
