Hi Chris,
The valid value range if you edit the LAN Autodisconnect parameter in the
registry is 0 to 4294967295 (Oxffffffff).
For a Windows 2000 Server in a Domain, running either as a domain
controller or as a server, the maximum value is 65,535 (0xffff). Values set
above this will be returned to 0xffff after policy refresh. Windows 2000
Servers in a workgroup may be set to any value as indicated. If you
configure the Autodisconnect option to -1 at the command prompt,
Autodisconnect is set to the upper value in the registry. This is
approximately 8,171 years (not tested), which should be long enough to be
the equivalent of turning Autodisconnect off.
For more information, you can refer to the article:
