System error 1219 has occurred

I am trying to connect to a remote server and deploy a service there, through a deploy script.

I start by stating "Net use" and send the credentials for the server.

But here I get system 1219 error:

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again.

I am not aware that I have any connections other than this one to the server.

I have tried net "use /delete" but was told that no connections were open to the server.

What gives?

Solution 1:

1. Fire up a command prompt

cmd.exe

2. View current network shares

C:\>net use
New connections will not be remembered.

Status       Local     Remote                    Network

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK           G:        \\srv\share               Microsoft Windows Network
OK           H:        \\fqdn\user$              Microsoft Windows Network
                       \\zombie-srv\share        Microsoft Windows Network
The command completed successfully.

3. Remove zombie mounts

C:\>net use /DELETE \\zombie-srv\share
\\zombie-srv\share was deleted successfully.

4. Mount the share as another user

C:\>net use z: \\zombie-srv\c$ /USER:domain\admin_user
Enter the password for 'domain\admin_user' to connect to 'zombie-srv':
The command completed successfully.

You can also try

net help use

Solution 2:

This seemed to help: "net use * /del"

I still do not know what my initial mistake was.

Solution 3:

use IP address instead of server name? (see Multiple Credentials in a Single Windows NT Session http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q173199/ )
