mobile AD accounts + login delays

[rockpapergoat]

i whipped up something that may resolve AD mobile account login delays for those experiencing them. people have reported reductions from up to a minute to 10-15 seconds for logins.

if this works for you, enjoy. i don't think it will break anything. realistically, if the idle disconnect and timeout values are low, i'd think that's a better situation. i forget what the defaults are, but they're a bit higher than what's set in this script.

Oh very nice, thankyou. I've had quite a few complaints about this lately.

This is what my default values were:

"connection idle disconnect" = 90;
"connection setup timeout" = 10;
"query timeout" = 30;

Defaulting to 90/10/30 here. Assuming query timeout refers to timeout before giving up on authentication, what about others, will this affect directoy-set admin rights by disconnecting from the server faster? Have you seen any adverse effects on other services by making these changes?

haven't seen any yet. let me know if you do.
