Scripts Timeout for Large Transfers or over Slow Links (108471)
This article was previously published under Q108471
SYMPTOMS
Scripts may get cut off when you transfer large amounts of data during a
logon script or run a script over a slow link.
CAUSE
This is caused by a hardcoded timeout in code. It was 10 seconds in LAN
Manager 2.1 and 30 seconds in LAN Manager 2.2.
RESOLUTION
The default timeout has been left at 30 seconds, although new code allows
you to set the timeout by adding an entry to the LANMAN.INI file. To change
the default timeout, add a section to LANMAN.INI, [windows], and insert a
logintimeout value between 1 and 32000 (seconds).
For example, to set the timeout at 300 seconds:
[windows]
logintimeout=300
The change was made in Netapi.dll; the new Netapi.dll is available as
CSD01.068.
