Server kicking users off after 8-10 hours.Hello,
In our small business with only four users, we have a Windows 2003 server we use as a file/web/active directory server. I have all the user accounts set for access 24/7/365, yet it seems that sessions can only be sustained for about 8 to 10 hours, after which the user is disconnected from all network resources (shares, printers, etc.). The user is not logged out, but simply loses access to network resources. Is it possible there's a setting I'm missing in server 2003? Is it possible it's the router I'm using that's cutting off sessions to the server? This happens regardless of static or dynamic IP addresses. Thank you! Ross Hello Ross,
I had this problem and found turning the power save feature in your network card properties solved it. If you wan't me to upload a screenshot on where to do this let me know.

under power management in configure for the NIC. We'll find out in a few hours if this makes a difference!

I changed the setting on the server, it made no difference.
