[Samba] drive mapping's connection problems

[Chris Krieger]

It sounds to me like when the user logs out, the drives are not being
unmapped, do you have a logon script that deletes all shared drives at
logoff/shut down.
Something to the effect of [net use * /delete] works really well

That will keep that message from coming up at least

That happens to me too, but the connection _is_ actually restored after
I kill the error message (despite what it says), so I just ignore it.
Rather
annoying though.

Hi 

 My company network is built from a series of Solaris 
machines running samba (2.2.x) and windows 2000 clients. 
The domain controller is samba 2.2.8a. When someone logs
on the login script maps a few shares to drive letters. 
Recently the drive mappings started getting disconnected
and when pressed they print out the error: 
"An error occurred while reconnecting to [Drive Letter]: 
to \\server\share. Microsoft Windows Network: The local 
device name is already in use. This connection has not been
restored." 
 Can anyone please explain why this happens and how I 
can prevent it? 


TIA 

Paolo
