RE: [ActiveDir] Persistent Drives

[Kennedy, Jim]

Sorry, I missed this part:   net config server /autodisconnect:65535   On the workstation you want net config workstation /autodisconnect:65535 I think.

Same as the 'reconnect at logon' box if you do the mapping manually via my computer.   I would advise against that setting in your logon script. If you go to move a users mapped folder and redo their logon file.....the old drive might still be there in XP and it often won't be replaced. So you have to add 'net use * /delete /y' to clear the old mappings. And that can even be hit or miss if you are using fastlogon with XP.   As for your  disconnect problem take a look at the net config server/workstation commands on the workstation. XP auto disconnects mapped drives after a certain period of inactivity and reconnect if the user access it. This will confuse some programs to think the drive is no longer there.   net config workstation ? net config server ?   to see the syntax.   JK     From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Arezina Sent: Monday, December 12, 2005 10:43 AM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Persistent Drives Hi folks, Scenario: Scripts run at logon on Windows XP desktops, defined through a GPO (Windows 2003 AD). Within the scripts I have mapped certain drives: Example: NET USE P: \\XXXXX\Bob /persistent:yes NET USE I: \\XXXXX\Joe /persistent:yes NET USE M: \\XXXXX\Dick /persistent:yes   However, after a certain amount of time, the mapped drives lose connections. I have run the following command on my W3K server and XP box: net config server /autodisconnect:65535. However, users still lose their connections after a certain period. Is there anyway to make the above connections persistent? Persistency is required because one applications pulls certain data from these drives.   Thanks in advance.
