I don't understand why a more powerful machine would have problems being a domain
controller. Probably the admin was not sure how to migrate or set it up correctly. If
you have more than a few computers, they should really look into creating a domain.
As far as drive mapping, you have the option to make it persistent/reconnect at
logon. There is also an option on the server to disconnect idle sessions that can be
changed if need be to keep shares from being disconnected every 15 minutes [default
value]. You can use "net config server" to view the idle session time limit and use
"net config server /autodisconnect:xx " to change the time to number of minutes you
desire. --- Steve
