Is there any way to tell from the client whether the connection is still
cached? I have noticed that from a cmd window, I can do
c:\> net use
New connections will not be remembered
Status Local Remote Network
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Disconnected F: \\smbserver\mgerdts Microsoft Windows Network
OK H: \\ntserver\mgerdts$ Microsoft Windows Network
If I run "net use \\smbserver\mgerdts /delete", the F: map goes away. Is
it still cached at this point?
