auditing
The
server
records processes, such as net logon
(
Netlogon
), and utilization of
resources
in an audit list. An entry in this list consists of the
username
, the type of
resource as well as the date and time when the resource was used.
autodisconnect
The
server
interrupts a
session
if it determines no activity for this session within
a specified period of time. If the relevant
client
wishes to access a
shared
resource
again at a later stage then the session is implicitly reactivated when a resource
is requested. A new “logon” or “net use” is not required.

server
in a
domain
which manages a copy of the
user account database
and uses
it to verify logon attempts. See also
