Guest cvogel Posted June 16, 2008 Posted June 16, 2008 I have situation at a site where we have login scripts mapping a "home" folder for users that create a "W:" . This mapping seems to lock access back to the server when I try to access the server with the administrator account while still being logged on as the user on the local machine. As soon as I disconnect the "w:" I can then authenticate to the server as administrator. Steps I have taken: 1.) reset permissions on the users shared home folder. 2.) deleted local profile 3.) checked "open shares" on server to make sure the account does not already have a file or directory open or locked. There are 7 or 8 other mapped drives in the users profile. And only when I delete this one does it allow me to authenticate to the server as administrator Any help would be useful.

You MUST kill all existing connections before making new connections under an admin account.
