Path disconnected \\company.com\dfsshare

[Mantvydas]

Hello,

every day my Vista SP1 gets disconnected from the corporate DFS share right
after I stop working with my Vista SP1 Enterprise computer for an hour.

We have two different type Vista SP1 computers in our network, and they both
behave the same.

I just get an Event ID No 9, in Operational Log of Offline Files "Path
disconnected. \\company.com\DFSshare", and that's it.

Any clues. Power management, or something?

Do you use Offline Files? For troubleshooting, you may want to disable it.
This how to may help.

Yes. I'm using the Offline Files, and the redirected Documents and Desktop,
but I can't live without them. I don't want to disable Offline Files.

Besides, I have put my computer to never sleep yesterday and it didn't
help -- I got my DFS share to disconnect again today. It's on Server 2003
SP2.

Regards,
Mantvydas

How lager the Offline Files? How many space do you have in the computer? By
default, the entire cache (both Temporary Files and Always Available Offline
files) is limited to 25 percent of the free space on the hard drive.

The Offline Files dialog box Disk Usage tab says 19 Gigs and 3,5 Gigs is
free. Temporary offline files only 6K. The amount of files on the network is
about the same size.

There's 10 Gigs of space on My Computer. 540 megs on the network Windows
2003 SP2 server (so little because of Quota, we've increased it from 40 megs
free to 540 megs free lately).

Is there no one to answer this properly?
