Windows 7 - Explorer not staying on folder or error accessing folder
We recently upgraded our domain and moved to a 2008 AD Server with attached storage.
Since then my Windows 7 users have complained that our shorcuts to network locations aren't always working. As an example - I click on a folder and it opens up and the shortcut contains folders on a network share. At any given time it either shows me all the folders or it may only show me one folder. Another shortcut I use to a folder that contains VNC shortcuts works one minute and then next it doesn't. Or I try and use the shortcut and it states I don't have access and I close the message and try again and it opens right up. Only occuring on Windows 7 users.
Restart of the computer seems to fix the issue until later in the day when it starts up again.

I have disabled the "Power Saver: mode on my desktop NIC which is the one I will be using for resolution since it happends frequently to me.
Also - The new DC is virtualized in Xenserver. - Also the same server that contains all shared network drives\data.
Thanks

Ok Let us know if this resolves the issue
If I remember there is a "work online" button in explorer in Win7?
Clicking on it re-connects and shows all files
Manual intervention obviously - but as a troubleshooting step it would indicate if we are on the right track?

I solved my own problem and nobody else was offering suggestions outside the few I got on the first day of posting.
which is why you see some folders ( in offline mode) but not all ( in online mode)
NAS/Server NiC's in powersave mode ?
