Multiple Connections for Mapped Drives

[Guest cvogel]

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.

This is by design. You MUST kill all existing connections before

making new connections under an admin account.
