Hello everyone, i have a problem with some Windows 7 clients. We connect network drives with a script and the \\FQDN\share name. This works great and the network drives show up. After some time (approx 3-4 hours) the network drives are completely lost (no more drives connected). This even happens if the user is active. The fileserver is Windows 2008 x64. At the IT we are also using W7 Enterprise and have no problem with our drives (which are basically the same). In the eventlog there are no errors. The user itself is local administrator. Anyone has a clue what is happening here ? Greets Stephan

Do you have offline files configured for a homedirectory? Is \\FQDN\share a DFS root?

This just started happening to me too. I have Pro though, all the latest windows updates. My computer will sleep and allow hybrid sleep is on also, not sure if it matters but I thought it might be note worthy. I am mapping drives to 2003 r2 and 2008 r2. There is one strange behavior I noticed. I have one drive that has a red X and says Disconnected network drive that I can still browse when this happens. The other drive mappings just disappear. I am using GPO user preferences to map drives. I have a vb script that I used to use to map drives, when I run that the drives will remap.

Do you have offline files configured for a homedirectory? Is \\FQDN\share a DFS root? In my case offline files are disabled via GPO.

I have been searching for a fix for this for quite a while. MS does not seem to have a fix for it.

I really think it's sleep mode causing this. I just disabled "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". I'll report my findings.
