Getting kicked out of the system at 5pm every day

[bluetech05]

OK guys everyone here keep getting kicked out of Outlook and their shared drive after 5pm. Now if they restart they can work just like normal. What could be causing this issue. Everyone is windows xp Pro.

Thanks in advance

Do you have logon hours set or a sheduled task that runs on the server?

Any errors in the event logs or other info you could provide so we could narrow it down? Are they all on the same server / network switch.

I'm not sure where would I look?

I don't have any backups running then I know that much. Where would I look for the login restrictions?

Take a look at this doc

If you can't find it the Group Policy Management Console should help you track it down.

Could you give us more info on your network topology? Is exchange and the user share on the same server or more than one server? the clients local to the server/servers they lose connection to or they coming accross a WAN? you using VPNs? what type of connection is the WAN if you have one, dsl, frame, wireless? what type of network switches, routers, firewalls do you have? when did this problem start? did it ever work correctly? what happened right before it broke? recent software upgrade, windows updates rolled out?
