[Samba] random errors"the local drive name is already in use. This connection has not beenrestored."

[Brad Otto]

Try using:

net use * /delete /yes

Before mapping any drives in the login script.  This will clear any drives
already mapped.  I do this in my login script to get rid of the drives that
XP/2k will sometimes hold on to and not let go on reboot.

no need to?
