Notes
- Changes made using this command take effect immediately and are
permanent. - It's better to modify Server service parameters by
editing the registry directly instead of using this command with any
of its three switches. The reason is that using this command
permanently saves the current settings of the Server service to the
registry and disables autotuning of the Server service. Autotuning is
a mechanism by which WS2003 tries to maintain optimum performance for
the Server service. For example, if you add more memory to your
server after running net config
server /autodisconnect:5, the
result is that WS2003 will be unable to automatically configure
itself to make best use of the additional memory. Note, however, that
using net config
server without any additional parameters
doesn't have this negative effect. To learn how to
undo this problem should it occur, see Knowledge Base article 128167. - To configure the Workstation service, use net
config workstation.
