I wrote a script to access 2 separate users folders other than the home user account.
Win2k Server and Win2K Professional Client.
Log in under new user, under explorer there is an X under both mappings.
Error: The local Device name is already in use. this connection has not been restored.
Checked MS web site. They directed the error to Macfee. I am using NAV

In your script, do a net use XXX /delete (the XXX being the resource you want to map). This will release the resource. Then on the next line do your net use XXX, to make the connection.

If you do not /delete (release) everytime your script runs it will fail because it's already in use.
