Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 computer that supports the sleep and resume functionality and joined to a domain.

  • You access a mapped network drive from Explorer on a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 computer.

  • You put the computer to sleep and wake the computer again after some time.

In this situation, you cannot access the mapped network drive for a short time, and you cannot save open Microsoft Office files (Word, Excel) within the first 30 seconds after you resume from hiberation. Additionally, you may receive error messages such as the following:

Location is not available.

Can't Access x:\

The specified network name is no longer available.



The local device name is already in use.

This connection has not been restored.

Cause

This issue occurs because the Server Message Block (SMB) session is deleted on the server-side.

Prerequisites

To apply this hotfix, you must be running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1.

For more information about how to obtain a Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 service pack, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

976932Information about Service Pack 1 for Windows 7 and for Windows Server 2008 R2

Registry information

This hotfix introduces a new registry key.

Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
Name: InvalidFileServerCacheLifeTime
Type: REG_DWORD
Default value: 30 (seconds)
Max value: 30

In order to reduce the time of the unavailable network share or drive mapping, you can set a lower value, such as 10 seconds.

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall the operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.

Restart requirement

Hotfix replacement information

This hotfix does not replace a previously released hotfix.

The global version of this hotfix installs files that have the attributes that are listed in the following tables. The dates and the times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The dates and the times for these files on your local computer are displayed in your local time together with your current daylight saving time (DST) bias. Additionally, the dates and the times may change when you perform certain operations on the files.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information notes Important Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table:

    Version
