I receive the following error: The local device name is already in use. I have the problem to find which purpose the device is used for. I try a command net use and do not see it in the list, therefore, it is not mapped to a network resource. Does anybody know how to see the list of all used devices in Windows 7? windows-7 network-shares share|improve this question edited system error 85 Jun 18 '12 at 22:17 Oliver Salzburg♦ 56.3k36185245 asked Feb 1 '11 at 14:27 Tim 3312415 net use is the typical way to check. I'm not sure why it would be claiming to be in use if it is not there. –Jeff F. Feb 1 '11 at 14:30 @Jeff: exactly, also not clear for me –Tim Feb 1 '11 at 14:34 @Tim silly question: Have you rebooted? Also have you ensured that no physical device is using that letter(in disk management) –Jeff F. Feb 1 '11 at 14:37 @Jeff: I use 2 physical disks that are partitioned into C:\ and V:\ correspondingly + 2 network resources that are mapped to W:\ and Z:\ as you see there is no I:\ among them. Why do I have to reboot? –Tim Feb 1 '11 at 14:42 @Tim reboots have been the universal MS fixer since 3.0 :) –Jeff F.

First: net use * /delete Then remap it using net use again: net use Z: \\server\share /user:username password share|improve this answer edited Oct 13 '11 at 5:05 Gaff 12.4k113655 answered Oct 12 '11 at 17:03 dekyos 17113 thank you sir!! I had disconnected a device from the gui, but the device name was "already in use".
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?
