Hi,
We have one domain ant couple sites. Sites are connected to VPN through routes to one logical network. We have file server and DFS service with root \\comp.net\dfs
The problem is that remote VPN users are not able to access DFS network maped drives from time to time. I noticed events in event viewer:
event id 1004: Path \\comp.net\dfs\home transitioned to slow link with latency = 109 and bandwidth = 1918208,
event id 9: Path disconnected.
event id 10: Path reconnected. \\comp.net\dfs\home
I think all these event related with network latency checks:

My questions are how could I avoid this problem on desktop computers.
Can I disable Offline Files? if this would help where in gpo disable Offline files?
Or should I set different latency values in "Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Network\Offline Files\Configure slow-link mode Properties"? what values I can set to avoid this problems?
\\comp.net\dfs Latancy=0
\\comp.net\dfs\home Latancy=0
\\comp.net\dfs\* Latancy=0
thanks
