Hello all.<br />
<br />
A month or so back I migrated our AD users from legacy login scripts to drive preferences.<br />
<br />
Last week here was an issue with or file server (which is where most of our mapped drives point to) which meant nothing could map to it.<br />
<br />
This problem I found was that this meant when users logged on it sat for 15 or so minutes trying to complete these mapped drives before timing out and completing windows startup.<br />
<br />
Is it possible to set this timeout to be shorter?? <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

Is it possible to shorten drive map preference timeouts when server not available
