Unmount shares after period of time

I am wondering if there is a way that we can have networked shares unmount after a certain period of inactivity.
We have way to many unused shared being mounted and left open, and it seems to be causing some network issues (Once all the shares are unmounted, everything seems fine). So I am wondering if this is causing some of the network lag we have been having. Regardless, I think its good practice to eject unused shares anyway.
Thanks!

Hi;
I belive yes you can rollback patch

  • Unable to access shared files over network after period of time.

    First off, I don't think that this issue is related to our router, but I have been searching for a fix and can not find one. We have a WRT54GS. Now, on to our issue:
    At my work, we have a small network with computers sharing files between the others. I have attached a network diagram to help explain this better.
    Our Win7 machine is our main computer that shares an external hard drive with much information that the other computers need to access. What we have noticed is either after a sleep, or even a period of time of say, 2 hours, those files are no longer able to be accessed. The Win7 machine is still sharing them, but the WinXP machines are unable to access them anymore and my Mac can see the computer is unable to connect to the folders. I have gone and attempted to get some help over at Microsofts site but that was a fail. Here is the link to the forum post there. http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7network/thread/f0a2e8d6-f75a-41d7-a280-c6f3adbffa...
    A member there gave me this:
    The Network connection is probably not resuming after sleep. 
    First try this, http://www.ezlan.net/Win7/power_save_win7.jpg
    It is in the Network Connection Properties under the Network card configuration.
    If it already checked this way, or does not work after checking, the Network card has to be taken out of the computer's Power Saving loop, and stay on all the time.
    Otherwise, Updating the Card with the latest OEM drivers (downloaded from the computer's support site) might help too.
    On a rare occasions, some cards might be "Quirky" in this regards and need to be replaced.
    --I would like to add that this DOESN'T ONLY happen after sleep, it also happens after a time of being used.
    I attempted those and no luck. This problem is still occurring and the only way we can fix it is by restarting the Win7 machine. But even if it is being used, we have no idea when those files are unable to be accessed.
    *I will add that the Win7 machine is still able to access the other computers when this problem occurs if that helps.
    **The Win7 machine is a Dell T3500 running Windows 7 64bit. I can provide specific hardware if needed. The drivers are all up to date as of yesterday.
    ***So upon looking in the Windows XP machine, both of the folders from the Win7 machine disappear once this problem occurs in the My Network Places folder. And one folder is on the internal drive, one is on external. The computers are in this situation now where I am unable to access them. The Win7 machine can read and write from the other computers, but the other computers can even see the Win7 Machine.
    ****All the connections are wired and are not using the wireless.
    Thanks for any help that anyone may have for me!

    It sounds like there is incompatibility issue with XP and Win7. To isolate this, do you have another Win7 machine? Try to add it to the network and check if the shared drives are accessible after sleep. If you don't have another computer, try virtual machine and create a Win7 system.
    Update your LAN card driver from the manufacturer's site. Don't use the driver from windows update.
    Lastly, does this happen to your XP machines? Like, one of the XP machine sharing a folder and falls asleep. When it wakes up, does Win7 machine can still access the shared folder?

  • Qosmio X500: Lan/Internet connection get lost after period of time

    Hi all,.
    I got the qosmio x500 for about half a year now...
    I got this problem where after about 5 hours or less the lan/internet connection get lost.
    I disabled the wireless connection and is using only the wired connnection now.
    When it get disconnected... all devices seems to work seemlessly, no problem can be found. I checked the win7 network adaptor --and it seems to be connected properly.
    I haven't got a slightest idea how to fix that.... Only a reset of the system and reloading the os results with a valid connection.
    It is even stranger,. When using it for a piriod of time (listeding to audio streams from the web)... when getting back to the machine the audio connection seems to work properly.... but when trying to access other sites, or other machines in the homegroup, or network (under explorer). It result faulty.
    Please guide me somehow how to fix the issue, it is bugging me a lot (all these resets to the machine probably doesn't do it any good as well).
    thanks in advance,.

    Hi,
    It could be the energy saving feature of your network card.
    Right click Network Icon on the status bar, choose 'Open Network Center and Sharing', Click on 'Connection', Click on 'Properties' (low left button), you'll see the tab with your Network Properties. Click 'Configure' (Upper right button), choose 'Power Management' (last right tab).
    Uncheck 'Allow computer to shut down this device to save energy'. Probably your problem will now be solved.
    If the names I write aren't exactly right, I'm on a French language computer so my translations can be slightly wrong.
    Bye,

  • Web Crystal Report not working after period of time

    Hi
    I have had a problem for a long time now on one of our web servers, it's becoming more of an issue lately due to a web site using Crystal more. The problem is that the Crystal Report Viewer does not load after a few hours. If I re ship the main DLL into the Bin folder for the site, then something gets 'reset', and hey presto, Crystal starts working again.
    The problem would even arise with a basic CR, with just one Textfield on it (i.e. not show)
    Web server is 32 bit Windows Server Web Edition SP 2. Asp.Net project built in VS 2012 against .Net 4.0.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Many thanks,
    Julian

    Make sure you are on SP 8
    Make sure you are using .Close and .Dispose on your report objects as you get done with them.
    What OS? (2003, 2008, 2012)
    Provide more info on the following:

  • Why does my iTunes freeze after periods of time

    So i have a MAC Mini with an external hard drive. For some reason after about 15 mins. the itunes will freeze up and i have to remove the external hardrive and plug it back in and then everything works fine. But this is a pain in the butt, because i recently got apple tv and i like streaming stuff off my itunes to my tv. But i have to keep getting up and unplugging the external hard drive and pluggin it back in so my itunes will work properly on the mac mini. This is quite frustrating. Does anybody have an idea or Clue as to why this is happening?
    Not sure if this is related to it, but i have "time machine" for my external hardrive and that seems to fail backing up sometimes as well. but when i un plug it and plug it back in the back up works flawlessley. Could this all possibly be related to the external hard drive.
    Thank you for any and all feed back
    also im tired of having to force quit itunes when all this is happening.

    Are you running iTunes 10.5.3?

  • Why does my mac shut off movies after period of time and I have to open itunes again to continue

    When watching movies via HomeSharing ITunes will periodically shut off or log out requiring Itunes to be reopened before the movie can be resumed. What is the ix for this?

    When you have the problem, note the exact time: hour, minute, second.

  • USB mic static, robot noise after period of time

    Hello everyone,
    This is the original issue: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2166616?start=75&tstart=0
    I have some answers (not solutions) for this issue and a response from Apple's engineers regarding the it.
    After extensive testing, recording the audible issue, sending system captures to Apple and working with Tier 2 support - I've finally recieved a response that they are acknowledging there is a software problem within OS X. They initially told me this was likely hardware issue or third party problem but finally concluded they needed to fix Apple drivers.
    HOWEVER - there is currently no timeline for this fix. In order to show Apple how important this problem is to us all there are 2 things you can do (please do BOTH):
    1) Submit a bug report here: https://bugreport.apple.com
         - be very detailed!
         - the more bugs apple gets regarding this issue the higher they will prioritize a fix.
         - Apple DOES NOT monitor these forums and will not accept your complaining here as official report.
    2) Call Applecare (if you have coverage) and report the issue.
         - Offer to send them a system capture (a small tool they will send to capture your system details etc.)
         - tell them about the many discussion on thier offical forums where they can get more info
         - offer to assist them in any way possible to have this problem further identified and fixed
    Doing these things will help fix the issue faster. Please take 10-20 minutes of your day to do these things!
    I can confirm that the issue hapenns on ANY Mac post-10.5.7 with virtually ANY (7 different brands tested) third party USB microphone.
    I hope you will all take quick action and help apple solve this annoying problem.
    Thanks and goodluck!

    This likely has to do with USB Clocking. Mac OS 10.5 is actually pretty bad with this. Have a read of this article and follow their recommendation for creating an aggregate audio device. Even if you have only one mic it sometimes seems to fix things:

  • ITunes match remove music from device after period of time?

    Hi
    I've been having a problem with iTunes match where it seems to remove copies of my music from my iOS devices (iPhone 4s and iPad 2) every so often (seems to be about every 90 days). I've noticed though that any songs I bought off iTunes on the device or have downloaded from the purchased section off iTunes are not deleted. Has anyone else experienced this and is there a way to turn it off so files are kept?
    Thanks :)

    If that is on, I highly recommend looking at th KB article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4054
    Specifically:
    Make sure iTunes Match is turned on.
    Please see this article for information about turning on or adding a computer or device to iTunes Match.
    If iTunes Match is already enabled on your computer or device, try turning iTunes Match off and then on again.
    On your Computer choose Store > Turn Off iTunes Match, then Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
    On your iOS device tap Settings > Music > iTunes Match Off, then Settings > Music > iTunes Match On.
    And sadly, you apparently can delete a song from Match from your phone.
    I am sorry, but no, you can't. If that were true, you would no longer see the song in your music library on your computer, and it would most likely be gone forever. The only way to remove an item from iTunes Match:
    To delete an item from iCloud in iTunes
    From a computer with iTunes Match enabled, open iTunes 10.5.1 or later on your computer. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    Click Music on the left side of iTunes.
    Select the item you would like to delete. Right-click the item and then choose Delete.
    You will be asked to confirm this action.
    If the item you want to delete exists in iTunes on your computer as well as in iCloud, click the checkbox to also delete the item from iCloud.
    Match is a train wreck. They need to make it work simply and intuitively.
    I don't disagree with you on this.

  • Unable to browse network shares after installing Time Capsule

    After installing my time capsule I am no longer able to browse the other computers on my network. I can ping them just fine but when I try to see them under "shared" or to brows to the ip address, it doesn't display the other computers. It sees the Time capsule just fine. The other computers are hooked up to the time capsule as well. One Computer is windows XP based and the other is Windows Vista. When I boot into my Windows XP (via boot camp) the other computers show up just fine and I'm able to touch the shared files. Its just the mac side that is not seeing them. They are all connected via ethernet cable connection. I appreciate any help to solving this. Thanks.

    Make sure that the shares are unmounted before you sleep and see if it makes a difference. Not that it's a fix, just curious on how it reacts to see what could be going on.
    Another good piece of information to get is to open Terminal and do a 'df'. See if you have any volumes mounted. They'll look like //Username@IP/Share and mounted to /Volumes/Sharename or /Volumes/Sharename-XX.
    Try a 'sudo umount /Volumes/Sharename' and see if it gives you any errors back or dismounts it cleanly.

  • Get a waveform graph to stop plotting after a given time period

    I am doing a research project looking at the effects of modifying visual feedback on a person's current force output. I have a waveform graph that plots the target force level they are trying to match (specified by me) and next to it a second plot showing their current force output (in real time). I am trying to make a condition where the current force output plot (or really the whole waveform graph) stops plotting after a 10 s time period, but can't seem to get it to work. It either plots for the whole trial, or does not plot at all. Is there a way to put a timer on a waveform graph in order to tell it to stop plotting after a specified time period?
    Thanks!

    Hi again,
    I have tried to open the .vi you sent, but I have version 8.2 (yours is in version 8.5) and cannot open it. Is there a way for you to tave the.vi so that it can be opened with earlier versions of the program?
    I have attatched my .vi to this message as well.

  • How can I set up a program to stop at a certain time, or after a period of time?

    I am using LabVIEW to measure dc voltages over a period of time. The data is exported into an Excel file.  I would like to be able to set up the program to stop at a certain time, or after a certain number of hours.  This way when I run a test that will start near the end of the week and would stop on say, Saturday, it will not continue to record all the data after that, which I do not need. I would love to be able to set a time for it to end, but I  also wouldn't mind having it end, or stop recording data, after a certain voltage has been reached.

    Its hard to say without knowing more about how your program is set up.  Assuming the data aquisition is in a while loop, you can just wire a bunch of different stop conditions into a compound math node.  Then right click on it and select "OR".  A caveat about the comparisons I used in my little example: Comparing DBLs can lead to unexpected results when the two values are very close together.

    If you update to iOS 8, you can select that in Settings>Messages>Keep Message and then select your option. If you don't update to iOS 8, you'll need to do it manually.

  • In windows 8, web page buttons stop working after a period of time.

    After purchasing a new laptop with Windows 8, I installed Firefox v21. After it runs for a period of time, buttons on web pages seem to quit working and also some drop down menus. Only fix seems to be to clear history cache and cookies and restart Firefox. It will work for a while, then I have to go through this process again.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time

    Prior to the Increase Capacity for Outbound Network Calls update, my Azure websites running in
    Standard mode experienced occasional connection attempt failed errors. Since this update the errors stopped but starting on 12/30/14, these errors started up again on both
    South Central and East regions:
    "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond [IP]:80"
    It occurs when attempting to consume an external web service over HTTP. This issue is not reproducible on our local environments nor did it occur with our previous shared hosting provider.
    On Azure, the same web service call can result in this error or will return a response successfully.
    There doesn't appear to be any pattern as to why the same call would work one time but not another.
    How can this be resolved again? Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Please have a look at this article:

    it gives us several ways to solve this issue, hope this helps.
