We are running Windows 2003 Enterprise server, and several workstations that
are Windows XP Pro, as well as some Windows 2000 machines. I have noticed
that the Windows XP Pro machines seem to have lost connection to any mapped
network drives (even those mapped via a server login script) if left on
overnight, while the win2k machines have not..

A reboot, of course, renews them. I have look at the NIC properties and
don't see any problems. I also have XP Pro machines that log into a domain
on a Windows 2000 advanced server. I never have problems with them.

Can someone give me a hint where to look? Is this an interaction between
2003 server and XP machines?
