Hi folks,

I have this 2012R2 server with some shares and also I have 2008R2 with shares.

One user have just upgrade to Win8.1. Now he have this problem that when he's computer hibernate or goes to sleep the shares on the 2012R2 server are not available (you can see them with rex cross over and in 'net status' they are disconnected) and after the computer have been trying there comes a pop up with:

"An error occuued while reconnecting X: to \\server2012R2\Shaer. The local device name is already in use."

The share on the 2008R2 server connects like a charm.

Any suggestions what could be the problem?

Thanks in advanced.

Have you observed any event in the even logs?

Hi Bjarni,

Can you remove X: drive and re-map by running the below command? This will keep the connection persistent.

net use X: \\computername\sharename /persistent:yes

net config server /autodisconnect:-1

Perhaps the analysis of network communication will help to resolve the problm. Wireshark will do the job.

Hi Bjarni G,

Thanks for your post.

As others' suggestion, could your please offer more information for us.

Try to restart "Computer Browser" to check whether it works. With the commands.

net stop "Computer Browser"

net start "Computer Browser"

The problem usually happens in Win 7 and Win Server 2008R2

For win 8, you could try to download and install latest Service Pack on the computerand ensure to install all the available Windows Update.
