Greetings, I am having difficulty resolving an issue in which a user is synchronizing files from a server share \\server\docsupon logon and log off. The user uses a local account to login to Windows XP and the sychronizing was set up when the user connected to the network shares with a particular Domain user account ( this was prior to my employ). I wanted to chang the account that the user uses to map to the drives (using either a .bat file with the net use commands, or simply selecting My Computer>tools>map network drive> entering info and selecting "reconnect a logon". The problem is that when I boot the computer, the sychronization kicks in, and when the .bat file runs (net use commands). I get the following basic error: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more that none user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again. I understand what's causingthe problem, as the sync program has the old account info to connect and my batch file is attempting to connect using the new account. But, I cannot find out how to force the sychronization program to use the new credentials/account also. It never prompts for a username/pwd, but I know it is attempting to use the original Domain account, because when I disable that account, or change the passwd the Synch fails. Thanks for any input. I have scoured the KB without success. Regards, Patrick

Maybe you have "persistent" network connections with stored username and passowrd (or maybe the username and password is the same on both systems). Remove first all persistent connections and you might have success with your batch. To see all connections, run "net view". For each connection on the target machine remove each persistent connection (net use ... /delete /persistent=yes). Another aproach to your problem is to use mapping configured in group policies. This is fir me a much better approach when I want to configure "on purpose" some type of systems (systems placed in a special Active Directory container).

I'm guessing are you syncing offline files for windows xp right? If yes turn off offline sync that will fix the problem.
