mobile AD accounts + login delays

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?
