Within an Lotus Notes application I use a shell script which just map a drive
and delete these mapping after use. It looks like;
net use I: \\<server>\<share> <psw> /USER:<user>
[...]
net use I: /delete
It's running at a Windows 2003 machine.
Now, if the app runs a 2nd time I get an error;
"System error 85 has occured
The local device name is already in use"
If I type in the commands at the command prompt I get the same error.
If I try to delete the mapping with net use I: /delete I get "The network
connection could not be found".
If I use net use within the command, there isn't no mapped drive with the
letter I:!
If I look at the explorer there I see the "Disconnected Network Drive (I:)".
Right click and "Disconnect" produce an error prompt "The network connection
could not be found"!
If I doubleclick this (zombie) drive, the explorer shows the share?!
I grazed the web for any solution. But there are just a lot of people with
the same problem and nowhere is an answer. It isn't a solution for me to
reboot this productive server just for get rid of these zombie drives.
Thanks for help
