    Disconnect network drive automatically


    I am looking for a way to disconnect a network drive automatically every night. I only need this to happen on 1 PC.

    More detail:
    - I have a Drobo B800FS-4A that I share with people during the day from a single PC.
    - My setup is Win7x64 and I password protect the Drobo
    - I want it to require a login every day
    - This is the tough part: I want it to automatically disconnect at night

    Is there some sort of setting or tool that will help me accomplish this?

    Thanks,
    David Shipp

    Remove it via a cmd file run as a task scheduler at the time you want

    That sounds like a great solution but I'm not familiar with DOS... Can you share the DOS entries?

    Very simple

    Net share sharename /delete

    Replace share name with the name of the share
