Just started working for a client that has a DNS-343.  They have had the unit for about a year and the issue they are having is every time they sync it with active directory it drops it connection every night.  They can come in the next day and sync the unit back with active directory and it will work all day then drop again that night.  Has anyone had this issue or have an idea on how to fix it.

What firmware version is the DNS-343 using? There were AD related fixes in subsequent firmware versions. You can see the cumulative firmware release notes here: http://forums.dlink.com/index.php?topic=48344.0

I have looked into the firmware and they are running the newest version of the firmware.  After seeing all the ADS fixes I thought that was the solution till I saw they are running 1.05.  So that's not an option.

If AD drops the DNS-343 at the same time every night (assuming you can zero-in on the time), then you can see if there are any scheduled nightly jobs or tasks that may be causing the issue.

I asked the client that too.  He said it would drop before he runs all his backups.  What I haven't had him try is turning everything off for one night and see if it holds.  Maybe for some strange reason the backups and shadow copies he does causes the unit to drop.

The fact that this issue has daily recurrences leads me to believe there is a trigger external to the DNS-343. You seem to be on the right track by eliminating potential triggers to see if the issue corrects itself.
