Guest chuck.streb@gm.com Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 After disconnecting from a share drive, 'Net Use c: /delete" The following user cannot sign into a share drive. If you look at the map drives it is not there! And to make things even worse... If you just type in the drive you disconnected from in the Start>>Run "C:" it will connect you to the drive with the users credentials that has just disconnected. "CAN YOU SAY SECURITY ISSUE" This has been an on going problem here for years here with any and every computer here and frankly it is irritating ... I have to reboot to be able to sign on under my name. Hey if you want to have fun though you have someone else account for awhile :) I am pretty sure it is a windows BUG. If I am wrong, someone please fill me in. If I am not wrong, MICROSOFT please fix your SECURITY BUG ISSUE. -Chuck

How can you map a share to C:? - When you say "The following user", do you mean to say that you're logging off and someone else logs on? I suggest you post a detailed step-by-step explanation of what you're doing so that respondents can follow each and every one of your steps. This will make it clear if your observation is a security issue or perhaps a lack of understanding.

If you're serious about your question then you need to take the time to go down to a detail level.
Guest Bob I Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Net Use disconnect failure (XP security BUG) There is no security issue if the user logs off. IF the user does not log off and walks away, THERE IS your security issue! chuck.streb@gm.com wrote: > On Aug 2, 5:23 pm, "Pegasus \(MVP\)" <I....@fly.com> wrote: > >><chuck.st...@gm.com> wrote in message >> >>news:1186088683.934602.156120@m37g2000prh.googlegroups.com... >> >> >> >> >> >> >>>After disconnecting from a share drive, 'Net Use c: /delete" > > > sorry, the J: drive which is a network drive > > >>>The following user cannot sign into a share drive. > > > Anyone who comes up to the computer after the drive is supposed to be > disconnected. > > >>>If you look at the map drives it is not there! > > > If you look at the network drives there are none. > > >>>And to make things even worse... >> >>>If you just type in the drive you disconnected from in the Start>>Run >> >>>"C:" > > > "J:" > > >>>it will connect you to the drive with the users credentials that has >>>just disconnected.

All indications are your drive is dismounted and you are disconnected. But if you type the path of the drive in the Startup >> Run You will connect to the drive with the credentials of the last user ..... please read before commenting. I will follow up with the steps ...
Guest Bob I Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Net Use disconnect failure (XP security BUG) Strange, when I try that it throws up the username, password logon dialog. chuck.streb@gm.com wrote: > On Aug 3, 9:44 am, Bob I <bire...@yahoo.com> wrote: > >>There is no security issue if the user logs off.

Guest chuck.streb@gm.com Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Net Use disconnect failure (XP security BUG) It doesnt always happen ... but it happens here enough (here). We use a VB app that executes the net use command.

Guest chuck.streb@gm.com Posted August 3, 2007 Posted August 3, 2007 Re: Net Use disconnect failure (XP security BUG) *I use a VB application that uses "Net Use J: \\129.124.204.11\1j" *The VB app also disconnects "Net Use J: /delete" *Then we check the connection "net use" The command returned -=-=-=- New connections will not be remembered. There are no entries in the list. -=-=-=-=- We would then try to connect to the drive using "Net Use J: \ \129.124.204.11\1j" with no success. This does not happen all the time but it does happen frequently. At this point do the below. *Then I goto Start>>Run>>Open: and put in the path of the drive that was disconnected. *"\\129.124.204.11\1j" and the window appears with that directory and I have the privileges of the logged out user.

I have my suspicions about what's going on but I need a lot more detailed information.
