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.
