Join them; it only takes a minute: Sign up Networked drive in purgatory after `net use` start-up script up vote 2 down vote favorite I net use have a BAT file that runs on startup via the group policy on an internal server. The BAT executes a nant script which then maps several external locations via net use command. Until now, all mappings have been to external computers that are part of a different domain via public IPs. net use e: \\111.111.111.111\someshare$ /persistent:yes net use f: \\111.111.111.222\someshare$ /persistent:yes net use g: \\111.111.111.333\someshare$ /persistent:yes This has been successful. Now, I system error 85 added a new computer that is part of the same network and domain as the internal server. While the old mappings continue to work, the new mapping does not. net use h: \\anothercomputer\d$\somefolder /persistent:yes I only know that this doesn't work because subsequent scripts that depend on this drive mapping are all failing, saying that the location doesn't exist. If I try to run the same connection script manually, net use says System error 85 has occurred... The local device name is already in use. Ok, so it mapped already somewhere, somehow. So I try to unmap it using net use h: /d and that fails. The network connection could not be found. So I cannot map it. I cannot unmap it. Apparently it exists in some networking purgatory. What is going on here? How can I get this new location mapped and visible to my scripts? networking command-line nant network-share share|improve this question edited May 13 '11 at 22:10 asked May 6 '11 at 16:25 Jeff 6,55953573 1 well, mapping to a $ administrative share is not so secure. is it possible for you to define the somefolder as a shared folder ? then you can use something like: net use h: \\anothercomputer\somefolder /persistent:yes and this would probalby work. –Menahem
the drive is allready in use bla bla bla.. system error 85.. I have tried the net use command with the /delete opton no luck... I have looked through regedit - no luck.. can't you remove any knowledge of a network drive windows 7 might have through Regedit? /Casper "If you never ask you may never learn" March 19th, 2012 8:15am Yes you can, although it would be best to troubleshoot as to why the drive is not properly disconnected. But if you want to remove it through regedit you can have a look at this value: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2 And delete the key relating to the error, then restart the computer and you should be able to add the network drive. Let me know if that works for you. Free Windows Admin Tool Kit Click here and download it now March 19th, 2012 9:23am 1. I have met with this error message in previous versions of Windows http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308337 2. Try to use mapping with parameters: a. Use net use /persistent:noin the logon script. b. Add "net use * /d" command line in the top of the logon script so that the script will clean the all old mapping first. 3. Instead of mapping I use simple script that opens Windows Explorer (WE). I do what is needed, close the WE and the connection is "destroyed" without any trace: explorer.exe \\server\share\folder Regards Milos March 20th, 2012 2:29am Hi guys, Thanks for the answers... !! I currently explorering your suggestions and will return with what we find... Milos Puchta, Thats a very interresting way to "make" network drives.. Im talking about the explorer.exe \\server\share\folder thing. Are you using this yourself or do you have it implementet in a user enviroment? I very interestet in knowing how you implement this to your users if you do that. /Casper"If you never ask you may never learn" Free Windows Admin Tool Kit Click here and download it now March 21st, 2012 3:36am Hi, Firstly, please let us know how your user mapped a drive. Secondly, based on my research this error message occurs if you map a network drive to the first available drive letter after the drive letters for the local volumes and CD-ROM drives. When you install a new device or volume, Mount Manager, which assigns drive letters to volumes, does not recognize the mapped network drive and assigns the next available drive letter to the new device or volume. This causes a collision with the existing mapped network drive. To prevent this issue from occurring, when you map a network drive, assign the highest available drive letter to the mapped network drive. You also can refer t
