we are using Netapp storage as File Server (DFS) and there are hundreds of employees sharing files everyday.
The clients are Windows 10.
The biggest issue we face everyday is that the files (Word,Excel,PPT...) get locked by a user because of network/vpn problem or because he didn't close properly the file.
When I check the storage I find hundreds/thousands of idle CIFS sessions that are older that 1 day.
PS> Get-NcCifsSession | ? {$_.IdleTime -Match '([1-999]+)d[\w\s]*'} | Select-Object WindowsUser,Address,IdleTime | sort -Descending IdleTime | measure-object Count : 3017
On the storage the setting "Idle Timeout Before CIFS Session Disconnect" is set to 900 sec (15 minutes).
How can we reduce the number of idle cifs sessions or push them to close?
Are there any settings to tune on the clients?
Are there another settings on the storage?
Thank you.
Best regards,
