Macs dropping connections to Windows servers

Problem: Macs will lose their connections to Windows 2003 servers at random intervals. This will even happen while a user is working on the server.

Solution: Read MS KB: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;297684

From a command line on the server type:

"net config server /autodisconnect:-1"

This will turn off the auto disconnect service on the server.

You can also try this:

On the server go to Start/Programs/Admin Tools
Go to Local Security Policy/Local Policies
Find the line that says "Amount of idle time required before suspending session" and set it to 0
