Unable to NET USE "User" Share From Windows 7
Seems to me like the .BAT file I have been using used to work for the share belonging to "PeteCress". viz: :* ----------------------------------------------------
:* Deletes, then re-establishes co...
OK... I tried to simplify things and just connect to the NAS box's "Home" share:
C:\BAT>NET USE * /DELETE /yes
You have these remote connections:
A: \\NAS\A
T: \\NAS\Temp
Continuing will cancel the connections.
There are open files and/or incomplete directory searches pending on the connect
ion to T:.
The command completed successfully.
C:\BAT>KLIST purge

Deleting all tickets:

C:\BAT>CMDKEY /add:NAS /user:admin /pass:xxx
CMDKEY: Credential added successfully.
C:\BAT>NET USE A: \\NAS\A /savecred /p:yes

C:\BAT>NET USE T: \\NAS\Temp /savecred /p:yes

C:\BAT>NET USE H: \\NAS\Home /savecred /p:yes
The password is invalid for \\NAS\Home.
Enter the user name for 'NAS': admin
Enter the password for NAS:
System error 1219 has occurred.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more

server or shared resource and try again.
C:\BAT>NET USE S: \\NAS\$OriginalRips /savecred /p:yes
The command completed successfully.
C:\BAT>PAUSE
Press any key to continue . . .So it's happy with shares "A", "Temp", and "$OriginalRips"...
The question seems to be "What does it not like about "Home" ?
Noting that we are using ID=admin and the admin PW in all cases, I am starting to think it's an issue with
C:\BAT>CMDKEY /add:NAS /user:admin /pass:xxx
Specifically, that it is from Windows' perspective. i.e. it is citing Windows' "admin" account and PW while the NAS box probably wants it's own "admin" ID/PW.... which happen to be identical to Windows' in this case...
But how to specify the ID/PW as belonging to the NAS box?
I guess this has morphed into a Windows question.... ?
Oops.
I meant
net use * /delete
net use H: \\NAS\C\home\PeteCress /user:admin password
home isn't a share at all. But you can access the full volume (normally C on 4.2.x firmware) if you use admin credentials.
The NAS doesn't really care if you use "admin" or "NAS\admin" for the logon - it ignores any machine or domain qualifier. The password of course needs to be the NAS admin password, not the windows admin password.
Now I am starting to suspect that something on the PC has an allocation to the NAS box using Windows' credentials - and that allocation does not show up on the NET USE list.

Maybe also go into windows credentials manager and delete all credentials related to the NAS.
