Multiple Connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed with MDT 2010

The error encountered in the ZTIUserState.log and BDD.log, “Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again..”

A change has been made in MDT 2010 to deal with mappings to lower-level directories, which has caused some issues when the lowest level part of the path doesn’t exist. MDT attempts to map it, but that fails because the folder doesn’t exist, and is not able to create the folder because were not mapped. While this doesn’t cause the deployment to fail, it leaves you with some nasty errors in the logs and you might see this in the Summary Screen:

To fix the problem the ZTIUtility.vbs file needs to be edited in the scripts folder. Open the file and replace the following code in the MapNetworkDriveEX function:

Case Else

‘ Case &h800704C3 ‘ Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.

‘ Case &h8007052E ‘ Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.

‘ There was a some kind of fatal error.

If ErrDesc <> “” then

MapNetworkDriveEx = ErrDesc

Else

MapNetworkDriveEx = “Unable to map UNC Path ” & sShare & ” :” & “( 0x” & hex(HasError) & ” ) “

End if

oLogging.CreateEntry MapNetworkDriveEx & “”, iLogType

Exit function

End select

With this code:

Case Else

Err.Clear

On Error Resume Next

oNetwork.MapNetworkDrive chr(sDrive)&”:”, sShare, False

HasError = err.number

ErrDesc = err.Description

On Error Goto 0

If Err.Number <> 0 Then

‘ There was a some kind of fatal error.

If ErrDesc <> “” then

MapNetworkDriveEx = ErrDesc

Else

MapNetworkDriveEx = “Unable to map UNC Path ” & sShare & ” :” & “( 0x” & hex(HasError) & ” ) “

End if

oLogging.CreateEntry MapNetworkDriveEx & “”, iLogType

Exit function

Else

Exit Function

End If

End select
