Hi,
I've seen countless posts about this message and have not been able to
pinpoint the issue.
We have multiple Windows 2000 client workstations on a LAN within the
same subnet(203.57.228.X) as teh Windows 2003 server.
We authenticate to an NT4 PDC w/ a logon script(below) on the same
network.(203.57.228.X)
Logon script on PDC:
@if not "%ECHO%"=="" echo %ECHO%
set NETSW=/yes
if "%OS%"=="Windows_NT" set NETSW=/persistent:no %NETSW%
if exist x:*.* net use x: /delete
net use x: \\servername\sharename %NETSW%
net use h: /home
net use k: \\<server>\apps
net use n: \\<server>\notes
net use p: \\<server>\data
net use r: \\<server>\drawproj
net use y: \\<server>\ug
We have several network shares mapped to the 2003 server. One
particular share that is mapped on teh server Y:\\server\<share>
produces this error intermittently.
Usually users on the same network map drives to this Win 2003 server
SP1 and try to open/load files within Excel, Word or Unigraphics
programs then click on their save icon to re-save.
(Will the application create a new file or *.tmp on the mapped drive?)
Then, users get this error:
An error occurred while reconnecting P: to \\File-server\data
Microsoft Windows Network: The local device name is already in use.
This connection has not been restored.
OK
They click on the OK button. However, the file saves fine. I would
check on the mapped drive
and the saved file is there. So this error message doesn't block or
indicate that the file
was not saved.
This happens sporadically. Sometimes, I would not get any error
message and the file saves
fine. The problem occurs with any type of file that the user opens and
tries to save as another file.
Also, there is a RED X's on network shared drives/folders which go away
intermittently and
come back but do not cause issues - we can still access data?
Also, ther are no problems performing file operations on the mapped
drives (i.e. copy, cut,
delete).
There are no routers or switches between the client and servers.
So, no TTL's or timeouts with network devices.
We have a Samba WINS server on another network behind the Firewall -
but, would it interrupt NetBIOS/SMB or any user connectivity with
sharing? (137,138,139 or 445)
I tried setting a timeout to "-1" ion the 2003 file serving server:
net config server /autodisconnect:-1
OUTPUT:
Idle session time (min) -1
I've looked at MS technet, researched fixes, changed WINS server
variables and can't find anything concrete yet.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any resources or help!
