Description

Specifies the maximum amount of time that an idle connection can remain open. If the idle time for a connection reaches the value of this entry, the connection is closed.

Increase the value of this entry if your application closes and opens Universal Naming Convention (UNC) files on a server less frequently than every 10 minutes. This decreases the number of reconnections to a server.
