Re: Login Script - System error 85

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Marc S <MarcS@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> typed:
I am running a basic Login script in Sysvol to map a few mapped
drives thru the Net use: \\server\folder /persistent:yes command.

After the first logon, the next consecutive logons give me System
error 85 has occurred. The local device is already in use. The
mapped drive is there, but there is an error in the script.

Is there a better way to re-map drives on each Logon?

What I did in situations with such a script, and is good practice, is to
delete all drives before mapping them to eliminate this error. This also
deletes mappings the users may have deleted the necessary share and mapped
anothe ron the same letter. This ensures all users get the proper mappings
whenever they logon.

net use d: /delete
net use e: /delete
etc.
net use d: \\server\share1
net use e: \\server\share2
