How can I turn off autodisconnect feature in all computers?
This autodisconnect feature in Windows 7 provides us some problems - a connection to a softwares database gets lost while idle and we dont want this to happen. Behavior is, that after user gets back to his machine, the network drive mapped to that database is marked with X, and requires a click on it, to re-establish the connection. I found out, that by default, autodisconnect feature does this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q297684 I believe the command net config server /autodisconnect:-1 will gives us the result we want, but this is something what needs to be spread to entire organization. Any ideas how to accomplish this?

1. Are you using persistent parameter in mapping? 2. I have used psexec from sysinternal to do task like this one. Regards Milos

Hi, You can change the registry value to set the time according to Mapped Drive Connection to Network Share May Be Lost. Note: Please refer to this knowledge base (KB) article to back up the registry key. Hope this helps Vincent Wang TechNet Community Support
