I have one user that has one mapped drive disappear periodically. The drives are connected by a batch file that runs when they login. Users have two drives that map, each going to a different server, but the one disconnects almost daily. The odd part is that this user, like most others, is on a thin client access a win 2k3 sp2 system running terminal services. I would assume that this would have something to do with the server that the mapped drive in question is going back to. I cannot figure out why this would affect one user, but not the others.

what about the possibility of a connection issue with the users pc? -
If that were the case, wouldn't both mapped drives disappear?Originally posted by Stang02GTComment

It's probably the time out period on that drive.
You will need to increase the defult time out period on the pc. To do this...
follow these steps, and then quit Registry Editor:
1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit (Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003) or type regedt32 (Windows NT 4.0), and then click OK.
2. Locate and then click the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlS et \ Services \ lanmanserver \ parameters
3. In the right pane, click the autodisconnect value, and then on the Edit menu, click Modify. If the autodisconnect value does not exist, follow these steps: a. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click REG_DWORD.
b. Type autodisconnect, and then press ENTER.
4. Click Hexadecimal.
5. In the Value data box, type ffffffff, and then click OK.Comment

I actually went through that process recently thinking it had to do with the timeout period. I changed it from the default 15 minutes to 31. I will go back and try something around two hours and see if that period with suffice. Thanks.Comment
