This is the problem I have been having. We have shares setup on a Windows
2000 server. We have the share mapped as a netwrok drive. I have users who
complain that their drive is disconnecting and that they lose connection with
their email pst's. I tried increasing the time for the server autodisconnect.
It did not work. I turned off the autodisconnect, and we still have a
problem. I tried deactivating the license server in case it might not be
configured properly, we still had the problem. Does anyone know what the
maximum amount of users is for a share? We are trying to increase the number
of people who have access to the share (set the limit vs. taking the default
which is maximum).

Please let me know so we can get this problem taken care of.

Thanks,

Your best bet is to check in the Allow Maximum Users box for that. Make sure
that all of your mappings have "Reconnect at logon" checked. Otherwise, you
can set up a logon script as a batch file and then point to it through all
of their logon scripts in AD.

No one who knows anything about Outlook and PSTs recommends using PSTs from
network shares. You either keep the data on the Exchange server or local on the
PC in a PST. If you want, occasionally back up the PST to a network server.

In addition this configuration is not supported by MS
