LOGIN: Map drive letters LOGOUT: Connections are still connected. on BOTH W2K and SAMBA file servers.
LOGIN: Map drive letters
LOGOUT: Now you have TWO sets of connections still connected for the one user.
REPEAT: For each time you repeat the above procedure, you end up with "persistent" connections from the W2K3 SP1 system! Now imagine a system with 50+ users logging in and out all day long!
If you REBOOT the W2K3 SP1 system, all the connections are properly disconnected.
If you run net use * /delete /yes, all the connections are properly disconnected.
PROBLEM: This causes "resource exhaustion" on the SAMBA server. (And probably on the W2K server as well, haven't tested it that far yet.)
MITIGATION: I added a policy that runs the following command on user logout:
net use * /delete /yes
This seems to *mostly* elimate the persistent, resource exhausting, and totally useless connections.
Is this a W2K3 SP1 bug? An intentional change in behavior?
Is there anything I can do on the SAMBA side to enable detection of these "should be disconnected" persistent connections for logged out users and elimate them?
(I tried deadtime=1 and keepalive=1, but they stay connected anyways).
