Re: System 2221 Error Mapping Drive


HELLO ALL,

I FOUND A TRUE SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM (NOT A WORKAROUND).[/B]
HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE RELEVANT FOR OTHERS EXPERIENCING THIS FRUSTRATING,
NEARLY INEXPLICABLE PROBLEM. (I KNOW THE THREAD IS OLD.)

*I HAD THE FOLLOWING SYMPTOMS:

1. On ONE workstation only, the user logged in and received [B]System
Error 2221* while a logon script tried to map a drive using the remote
system name and share. This problem did NOT happen at other
workstations when used with the same user account and logon script.

2. If an administrator account was used at the "faulty" workstation,
the share would map perfectly.

3. Alternatively providing an IP address and share name in place of
the remote system name and share name successfully mapped the drive at
the "faulty" workstation.

The answer... tada...

I was unaware of an obsolete set of credentials saved in the *STORED
USER NAMES AND PASSWORDS* applet. It was overriding the expected login
script (default) credentials. To access this applet and delete the
offending credentials, go to *Control Panel > User Accounts > Advanced
(tab) > Manage Passwords (button).*

In all fairness to previous posts, this was a really tough problem to
find because the errors were very subtle, but I did get the feeling the
credentials were being overridden _somewhere._

Enjoy!
