I assume you don't have any settings for power savings like turn off drives or standby on the server. How about standby on the workstation in question? Does the problem happen after a restart or just random during use?
Try to reproduce the issue on clean installations of 8.x to if it's a problem at the server end or not.

Thank you for replies
This problem occurs randomly only on windows 8.1.. while users work on 8.1 mapped drives get disconnected ad-hoc manner

And on clean systems?

it happens to a batch of users which had new laptops recently. There is about 5 people and they all had the laptops built at the same time with 8.1. They all work from the same branch office, but they did say it happens when they are at HQ also.
With "clean systems" I mean installations that have no software installed, only windows 8.x and all updates. New laptops are not considered clean when all kind of softwares come preinstalled.

I don't have a 'Clean System' available for testing, but I can confirm that there are other users which have the same laptop and don't have the issue. We have around 25 of the same laptops and only 5 are experiencing the problem, unless the others didn't report it.

I took over this issue from previous administrator, none of these solutions worked in past. These systems were replaced from Windows 7 to windows 8.1 on windows 2012 domain.
