If the user logout and the share is disconnected is normal…to tell to your administrator J

You have to login someone then you can “lock” the desktop. If you cannot do this you will have to “play” with batches and registry “run” section to create some batch that map passing path, user and password to do it.

But If I well understand you need also a persistant mapping from a Windows 2K3 Server to a CIFS share on a NetApp.

Well, first of all the usage of network drive in server environments has been always been “fool” and causing some trouble. The network mapping will disconnect alone or, better, they go offline after 15 or 20 minutes of inactivity,

To make them persistant you need to issue this command net config /autodisconnect: -1

But is not a best practice

Oggetto: Persistant CIFS Share Across Logins

Greetings,

I apologize for what could be a silly question, but I'm strictly in the storage/UNIX world.  I've set up a CIFS share on my 3040 (v7.2.4) for a Windows 2003 server to mount so that an application can read and write data to it.  The windows administrator says the share is not staying mapped because it is being disconnected when the user logs out.  This particular application needs access to the share when no one is logged into the system.

How does a Windows administrator keep a NetApp CIFS share mounted as as drive letter so that applications can use that share when no one is logged in?

Many thanks,

Daniel
