Hello Johnny,

are you sure that you don't have it already mapped on the server using
different credentials? From the command line, you can use "net use" to display
all mapped drives, and "net use z: /d" to remove the mapped drive Z:.

You also need to be aware that you are only able to use _one_ set of
credentials between two computers, e.g. if you have a homedrive mapped to a
server, you are not able to map another drive of the same server on the same
client using different credentials. You'll need to disconnect those mapped
drives on the server first if you want to proceed with different credentials.

I hope this helps.

Gruesse - Sincerely,

Ulf B. Simon-Weidner
