I'm trying to map the users home share on my network (WinNT servers, WinNT and Win2K workstations). Some users have a share drive...some don't. The code I'm using works on the NT workstations, but not the Win2K ones. Here it is:

if exist (@homeshr)
use z: @homeshr
? "Error - [" + @ERROR + "]" + " - " + @SERROR
endif

I get an error code of 0...and it tells me that it completed the command succesfully, but the drive doesn't map.

I tried a different spin on it:

if exist (@homeshr)
z:
cd @homeshr
? "Error - [" + @ERROR + "]" + " - " + @SERROR
endif

This time, I got this message:

"No more connections can be made to this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept"

I get the same message if I try to map the drive in Windows.

Any ideas?

Have you examined the properties of the share itself? How many connections can be made to the share? does the user have permissions on the share and underlying directory? In your account profile, what is the letter of the HomeDrive?

use @homedrive @homeshr

Found a fix for it....when you mentioned permissions I tried something on the server and it worked.

Our share folders were set up so that under properties, we assigned permissions under the security tab AND the sharing tab. In the sharing window, we imposed a user limit of one (the folder's owner) and under security we gave the owner full control of it. It's redundant, I know, but we never had a problem with NT. Once the 2000 workstations were put into the network, the drive would not map. To fix it, I just changed the user limit to "maximum allowed" under the sharing tab of the share folders.

Thanks for the help.
