net use playing up

When I try to set up a network drive to a remote share via a command
line use of the
'net use X: etc.' command, the server tells me the message about

"System error 1219 has occurred.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same
user,...."


But there isn't any that I can see!

I did a 'nbtstat -s' and there is no listing for the remote device.

I do a 'net use'

and it lists the remote device as 'disconnected'.

How can I delete this connection so I can make a new one?

I tried a 'net use * /delete' and removed ALL my existing drives. But
I still can't add a networked drive to this remote device.

I can add a drive on a different PC to the remote device.


I'm using Windows 2003 R2


'nbtstat -c' listed the remote device. But after doing a nbtstat -R
which clears it I still can't add a net use x: on the remote device.

Will rebooting ther server get rid of it?

Is there a way to get rid of it without rebooting??

Or am I missing something obvious? :-)

I rebooted the server and the connection has disappeared.


All I can think of is that accidentialy I created a PERSISTENT share
some time.

Which is odd, as in the batch file it uses /PERSISTENT:NO

I've tried adding a drive and deleting it.

It now works.

But it very bad if I've got to reboot to get rid of a faulty persistent
share!

I'd welcome anyone comments on this issue.

Greetings,

My experience with the error usually means that the user currently has a map
to a shared drive and they are trying to remap the drive under different
credentials.

Some times running a net use * /d on the client machine then remapping the
drives will fix the problem since it deletes all mapped drives. Might want
to take a note of which drives are mapped with a standard net use first to
ensure the users doesn't have any custom mapped drives.

Hope this helps,

As I said in my posting. I tried doing net use * /delete and it still
didn't allow me to add the drive.

One of lifes mysteries I think...

Thanks for your comments. :-)

Sorry I miss that in your first post. If you ever find out what caused it
keep us posted.

Thanks,
