SBS 2003, clients not reconnecting after restart

After restarting a SBS 2003 server, some clients do not automatically reconnect, some do.

This means that users do not get emails as Outlook has switched to offline mode, and are unable to browse network folders as they are working offline. All users on XP

Any ideas?

It's a restart after updates which I do at night.

Yes, it only affects users who leave their pcs on all night.

The server is only restarted when prompted by the updates. Just curious as to whether there was a work-around.

My users are a stubborn lot. Some keep deleting the "Your mailbox if full" email and wonder why they can't send any emails after a while.

"You need to delete or archive your emails"
"How do I do that?"
"I've shown you five times!"
