I wrote a simple script to map a network drive (using logon credenitals other
than the logged on user).

After that, I logout the machine and login again. The mapped drive become
disconnected (with a red cross on it), and there is nothing I can do to unmap
it because it shows no mapped drive when I type "net use * /delete /y" or
from windows explorer. I can't even map it again because the drive is not
available to choose from in windows explorer and system error 85 returned
when running "net use" on the drive

I tried many methods and search all over the microsoft.com for solution, but
nothing helpful.

Anyone got any idea?

The drive is most likely mapped in a background session, e.g.
by a scheduled task. Prevent that task from starting, then reboot
the machine to unmap the drive.

have you tried using net use x: \\ip\drive /user:[username] [password] to
map the drive !? when you reboot the system does it ask you the username
and/or password !?

Sorry for the response. Currently, I am still arranging the time to reboot
the server because it hosts a critical system.

Keep updating you guys.

Thanks.
