    10 hours is the default time that a kerberos ticket is issued for in a
    windows Active Directory network. That glitch is not the network dropping,
    but is the server replying with an explicit access denied to the client
    because the ticket is expired. The client automatically requests a renewal
    of the ticket, which is granted, so for most network activities, you never
    "see" that renegotiation. A network application *should* be able to
    anticipate and accommodate this as this is standard practice in any network.



    If, however, this is a non-network app that has been forced into a networked
    situation, you'll want to consider setting up a terminal server instead.

    The default time for a kerberos ticket is set that way for a reason.
    Changing this time too much exponentially increases your risk factor and is
    an insecure way to operate. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I'd
    encourage users to just log out and log back in or push back on the vendor
    to fix this bug in their software.

    Grabbing at straws. Run the SBS BPA for SBS 2008 if you have not.
    There are some clicks they may want you to do that may help with
    disconnect issues.
