Autodisconnect feature

[George Hester]

Please take a look at this article, "Mapped Drive Connection to Network
Share May Be Lost:"

It seems to give to methods to address this issue. One using regedit and
the other using the commond prompt net. What I am weondering is that
correct? Can I turn the autodisconnect feature off by using the method
explained at the end of the article and ignore the rest? Since I have two
servers which are sharing their drives do I have to turn the autodisconnect
feature off in both machines?

Well that's clear. Now I'd like an answer to the questions I posed.
Thanks.

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.
