Can't map to second share on remote computer
On Windows 7, once you've authenticated against a server, you don't have to reauth for other mappings.
In fact, if you map a share to a drive letter, and then try to map a different share on the same server to a different drive letter, and then enter on the Map Network Drive dialog the same username and password used on the first drive mapping, you get this confusing error message:
The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password.
Despite the network folder not being mapped at all, and the username and password used not being different.
This baffled me for a while until I realized that once you have mapped to "server1" using those credentials, you can map to different shares on the same server without re-specifying the credentials.

Go to PC1 and inside D: > Properties > Security > Advanced > Owner - is the same as on C:, if not, change that.
If this does not help,
open cmd
Enter net use * /delete
in the dos box
than try again
I've seen this before. Here's what you need to do:
Instead of mapping to \\PC1\D
and \\PC1\E
respectively, try mapping to the admin shares
The admin shares that you will want to connect to are \\PC1\D$
and \\PC1\E$
. To do this, open Command Prompt, and type this (you could also save this to a .bat
file on your desktop, such as connect.bat
to execute at any time):
net use H: \\PC1\D$ /user:\\PC1\foobar 123456
net use I: \\PC1\E$ /user:\\PC1\foobar 123456
Simply replace H:
and I:
with drive letters you want, change foobar
to the admin user, and change 123456
to the password of said admin user
You might have a spurious network share to \\PC1\D
.
This is easy to verify by entering into a command-line the command :
net use
If you see any other share in addition to \\PC1\E
,
which might even be that of the administrative share of D,
just enter the command :
NET USE /DELETE \\PC1\share-name
You should now be able to connect to \\PC1\D
without problem.
If this doesn't work, try to connect to <PC1 IP address>/D
,
entering the credentials as<PC1 IP address>/user-name
.
