[Guest]

I'm runing small business server 2003, my xpclients get automatically booted off, when I come in the morning, is there a way to prevent this.

Thanks

What do you mean by booted off?
Users should be logging off at night anyway, as far as I'm concerned....but
more info about your symptoms would help.

I agree, but my customer an Ex:Vietnam Marine, says it's
an issue and needs to be fixed.

You basically work all day, then you go home at night and
the next morning you don't log out. You loose the
ability to connect to the already mapped drives. You
need to log out and log back in.

I think this must be a registry settnig somewhere.

Event log errors? What runs at night? Computers going into standby? What's
your DHCP lease?

Honestly, in my view, this is just silly. Users should not stay logged in
all the time for security reasons, as well as not having backup problems
when there are open files. Log out at night, turn off the PC on a Friday
night.
