Disconnect mapped drives: Type Command prompt>: NET USE * /DELETE [Deletes all the mapped drives from the computer] https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/253821 NET USE [drive] /delete -> deletes the mapping to the particular drive. Common Errors: - System error 85 has occurred. The local device name is already in use->This means that you already have something mapped at that name. It happens a lot when you use logon script to map drives or whennet use /persistent:yes is generally used to map those network drives. Resolution:1. Use net use /persistent:no in the logon https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/rajakedar_ganta/2011/08/19/system-error-85-has-occurred-the-local-device-name-is-already-in-use-net-use/ script. 2. 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. Restart the machine (if that is an option) How to do the above Via UI: Start > Select Computer Right Click Tags map drive using dos System error 85 has occurred.

So, the NET USE should only execute if the M: drive doesn't already exist. It works 99% of the time, but fails 1% of the time. Why?

Adding the delete command and changing the persistence worked like a CHARM!

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 Jun 18 '12 at 22:17 Oliver system error 85 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.

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 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 6,57453573 1 well, mapping to a $ administrative share is not so secure. is it possible for you to define the somefolder as a shar
