closing a network session
in computer management, if I close a session for a user, what would happen?
would the mapped drive get disconnected?
thanks

It was just disconnect them it would not undo their mappings, as soon as they tries to access that share again via the mapping they would get reconnected.

I guess you are understanding my point.
if a user is logged on to his computer with drive mapped to V: , W:, Z:
V: , W:, Z: map to server1\share1 server1\share2 server1\share3
and if I connect to server1/computer management and close all sessions.
if a user has a document from server1 opened, what would happen to that document when I close the sessions??
would V: , W:, Z: still be mapped to the user????

Nothing, the user would still have it open and as soon as they edit or refresh they will be reconnected.

How would this impact their open documents which physically are on server1 from which I closed their sessions

"disconnected" does not mean "unmapped."
As soon as they went to save the document the session would be re-established and the documented would be saved.
Assuming, the server is still up, network connectivity is still there, and their userid/password is still valid.

So what does "Close session " mean if users still can use their opened documents and save their work????

thanks for your explanation.
but when I try to close a session , it gives me a message that users may loose data.

As you asked if the mapped drive would get disconnected I am assuming you mean terminate some type of SAMBA/fileshare session. However you don't say which end.
If you log a user off of their computer the map is disconnected. However if they have the share setup as "reconnect at logon", then as soon as they logon it will reconnect.
If you terminate their session on the server that the share is mapped to, the share will get disconnected also. However, as soon as they attempt to access the share it will be reconnected. Assuming their userid and password is still valid.
