Hi- I have a Windows 2000 server acting as a file server. I

Anyone now why when I map a drive to the server it will
disconnect the user's throughout the day? They continually
have to re-map the drive.

I tried adding the autodisconnect parameter to the
registry to no avail.

Thanks in advance.

The default timeout is 15 minutes. From a command prompt on the server side
net config server /autodisconnect:-1
for no disconnect.

Setting this from the command line may turn off auto tuning for the server
service. So a better solution is to navigate to
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters

and set the Reg_DWord hex value of
"autodisconnect"=ffffffff

If "autodisconnect" doesn't exist, Add it.
