VPN - net use error 2221

Hello,
we are migrating to Windows 7 and have some VPN Users. Now we are testing the VPN Scenario in Windows 7. We have recognized that, we cant connect network drives, when we are connected through VPN. We get: system error 2221 the username could not be found
I have done some testing and figure out:
- ping ip works
- ping servername works
- ping domainname works
So I assume its not an Name resoultion issue. If I map the Networkdrive with "\\server\sharename" I get immediately error 2221 as mentioned above, but if I try to map \\IP\sharename" I get asked for username and password.
May somebody have a clue?
My other question is, if we possibly could map drive via "\\IP\sharename", how we could automate this, that the user dont must enter credentials. This has been working with Windows XP with no issues.
Thanks

Sometimes the issue has to deal with the stored credentials on your machine. Open
Control Panel and navigate to Credential Manager then remove the credentials relating to VPN/network drives.
Restart your computer, it will ask you for your credentials the first time. See if it asks again.

Net Use give error 67 when trying to mount network share in Windows PE

I am trying to deploy Windows 7 Pro by PXE booting Windows PE5 and applying a WIM file over a network share. The problem that I am running into is that I get an system error 67. I can ping the server with the network share with both the IP
and the FQDN, but whether I use the machine name OR the IP I get a system error 67. I verified that the account that I am using to connect has permissions, but even excluding the user name and waiting for it to prompt me for a user name gives the same
error. Any idea what is going on?

[DC2] An net use or LsaPolicy operation failed with error 67 - Moving AD from 2003R2 to Server 2012

Hello, i hope someone can help me with this tricky situation.
The plan is to move AD from 2003R2 name "DC" to a server 2012 "DC2"
I have made all the adjustments and transferred all the role to the new 2012 server, and both are now GC servers.
The problem is "transferring" the netlogon share.
in DCDIAg on the new server i get:

I have as a last option the burflags issue, i tried this with the option D2, but i think i have done it wrong, because the netlogon share is gone on the old DC. i took a backup of the files and folders before
i did this. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290762/en-us But i am a little confused on which server i am going to set the D4 value on now? COuld someone help? Best regards Aksel

Hello Dirk
And thank you for your answer, in regards of the KB, do i have to follow the steps regarding:
Global vs. replica set specific reinitialization
You can locate the replica set specific
BurFlags
registry key by determining the GUID for the replica set that you want to configure. To determine which GUID
corresponds to which replica set and configure a restore, follow these steps:
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type cmd and then press ENTER.
In the Command box, type net stop ntfrs.
Click Start, and then click Run.
In the Open box, type regedit and then press ENTER.
To determine the GUID that represents the replica set that you want to configure, follow these steps:
Locate the following key in the registry:
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\NtFrs\Parameters\Replica Sets
Below the Replica Sets subkey, there are one or more subkeys that are identified by a GUID. In the left pane, click the GUID, and then in the right
pane note the Data that is listed for the Replica Set Root value. This file system path will indicate which replica set is represented by this GUID.
Repeat step 4 for each GUID that is listed below the Replica Sets
And so on?
I have only thos 2 DC's in the network...

Net use system error 67

We are using Windows 2008 R2 server.
I can map a network drive to a Sharepoint site either using the Windows Explorer Map Netwrok drive utility or using the command line.
Either way works fine.
However, If I take the command I put in the command line and put it in a dos batch file, the command fails with System Error 67.
The command I am using is:
Net use y: http://myoffice.company.net/international/sales/Shared%20Documents1/<//a>
This works from command line but not when run from a batch file.
any ideas? I have tried using the IP address instead but the same error comes up.

Net use * \\computername gives a 52 error (duplicate name) with WINXP but not with WIN7

Hi,
I use the command " use * \\computername\share " to test the mapping of shared drives.
The target machine is a Win7 machine (and is in another subnet).
The lmhost file of the client machines contains the line
" IP address - computername #PRE "
to allow for name resolution.
I get a correct reply with "ping computername", which shows that name resolution at the level of the clients is all right.
However, when I try the "use * \\computername\share" command, it works fine if the client is a Win7 machine but gives me a "error 52 duplicate name" if the client is an XP machine.
Now, "computername" is NOT the NETBIOS name of the target computer but another name I use for sake of facility (the NETBIOS name of the target machine is a complex one and makes it identification by the end-user difficult when it appears in the
drop list of the GUI command "map network drive" (which is what the end-user will use for mapping).
Is it possible that the client WinXP tries checking "computername" against the real NETBIOS name of the target machine and says that there is duplication because they do not match, whereas the client Win7 does not do that or accepts that "computername"
is not the real NETBIOS name ?

Dear Carey,
Thank you for your reply. However, what the link describes is a situation opposite to what I described.
The link is about TWO computers with the same NETBIOS name on a s single local network. Then the conflict is obvious since that NETBIOS name will have to point to two IP addresses.
What I described was trying to map a shared disk on a a SINGLE computer with NETBIOS name "A" and a given unique public IP address (vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz), but to which I referred to in the lmhost file of the calling
computer (located in another local network) with another NETBIOS name ("B") .
Thus, the target computer is a names "A" in its local network but the lmhost file in the calling computer has a line "vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz
B #PRE". This when I got the "Duplicate name error".
I do not understand the error because the lmhost file should simply allow the calling computer to make name resolution (and say "B" is IP address vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz) to make the connection (which is what we get if we use the command "net use
* \\vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz\share" [this command always work]). But what I was suspecting is that the calling computer gets confused when it sees that the target computer with address vvv.xxx.yyy.zzz has a NETBIOS name different ("A")
from the one it was supposed to call ("B").
Am I correct ?
As I explained in my original post, I uses "B" to name the target computer on the calling computer because "A" is a quite fancy and difficult name that the end user will never understand or remember.
If I name the target computer "A" in the lmhost file (i.e. its real NETBIOS name), I do not have any problem.

Remoting: NET USE on DFS Share, error 1312

Hello,
we are having the following issue:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;968264&sd=rss&spid=11737
BUG:
When psremoting (or winrs-ing) onto a client Win7x64 machine, trying to mount a
DFS UNC, it fails with the following error.
[client-1]: PS C:\Users\user\Documents> net use x:\\server\dfsshare /User:company\username ******
net.exe : System error 1312 has occurred.
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (System error 1312 has occurred.:String) [], RemoteException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError
A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated.
On the same machine, when mounting another share (sysvol) it does not fail.
[client-1]: PS C:\Users\user\Documents> net use x:\\server\sysvol
/User:company\username ******
The command completed successfully.
If I run the same command on any client machine it does fail with the same error.
If I run the same command locally on that same client (client-1) as logged on interactive user, it does not fail.

If you are still looking for the answer to this, I believe it stems from the namespace server not liking the anonymous request caused by the doule-hop. I was able to get around it by first doing
net use \\domain.com\dfsnamespace /user:Domain\username ********
and then
net use \\domain.com\dfsnamespace\dfsshare\subfolder /user:Domain\username ********
and it fixed the problem.
Hope this helps.

Requirement is to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a windows service, which will be created by command: - net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes

Environment:
OS: Windows 7 32/64 bit, Windows 2008 Server 64
bit/ Windows 2012 Server 64 bit
Priority:
- Critical
Requirement: - Since
the Windows Service is running under the Local System Account, we would like to emulate this same behaviour.
Basically, we would like to run CMD.EXE under the Local System Account. So that we can map a network drive to be used by a service using following
command
net use z: \\servername\sharedfolder /persistent:yes.
Already Attempt:
We tried to launch the CMD.exe using the DOS Task Scheduler AT command. Here’s a sample command:
AT 10:36 /interactive cmd.exe
But I received a warning that “due
to security enhancements, this task will run at the time excepted but not interactively.”
It turns out that this approach will work for XP, 2000 and Server 2003 but due to session isolation
Interactive services no longer work on Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and above.
2. We
tried to create a secondary Windows Service via the Service Control (sc.exe) which merely launches CMD.exe.
<Drive>:\sc create RunCMDAsLSA binpath= "cmd" type=own type=interact <Drive>:\sc
start RunCMDAsLSA
In this case the service fails to start and results it the following error message:
FAILED 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
3. One
suggestion, we found to launch CMD.exe via a Scheduled Task, but
it is not giving any option to launch CMD.exe in interactive mode; so that I can map network drive using net command.
4. I read an article, which
demonstrates the use of PSTools from SysInternals. I launched the command line and executed following command
psexec -i -s cmd.exe
PSTools worked fine, but It seems that in scope of Sysinternals Software License
Terms. You may not "use the software for commercial software hosting services."
Application will deploy on client, which will be like commercial,
so we are not able to use PSTools.
Kindly assist us for achieving the requirement. We have tried all the ways, but nothing is working for us. Kindly suggest.
I will be really thankful.

Hi Sir,
Nothing worked from above for us. You can see our remarks on posted query.
That’s why, we posted on forum.
And there will not be any vulnerability, because, if we will use "net
use ..."
in network domain; definitely,
we will provide username and password of mapped drive system.
And, that system, itself is given by client; so that, there must not be any vulnerability; they are ready to provide user name and password.
We need a way; by which we can complete the requirement. Kindly assist.

S. P. Singh

Drives mapped via GPO, NET USE shows mapping but doesn't show up in Explorer - Win 8.1

Fresh install of Windows Enterprise 8.1
Connected PC to domain, logged in, drive mapping worked as it should.
Rebooted a few times after installing software that I normally install on my computers (from the same sources/locally from my file server, etc). Rebooted a few more times all is well.
A few reboots later, the only drive that is mapped is X: which is my user drive done via the user profile in AD. The rest of the mappings that normally show up done by the GPO no longer show up.
After some digging, and noticing no errors in any logs I ran NET USE in a CMD prompt window, low and behold the drives are actually mapped and I can access them via the CLI without issue. I can navigate via their mapped drive letters, etc.
They just don't show up in Windows Explorer at all and I cannot navigate to the drive letters via the address bar. Strangely enough, it still kinda works since the Downloads start menu item is mapped to a network drive and that still works (Q:\) and
Chrome can access it as well if I try to download something.
I'm really not sure what else to check/try here.
Have other Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 machines (my laptop) and all works just fine, so it's only this specific install on my desktop that is showing this issue.

Hi,
There are several reasons causing the issue:
First, The problematic client doesn't reconnect to the target share at logon.
Please follow the steps to re-configure the mapped driver on the client and then check if the issue will re-occur.
Steps:
a. Open "My Computer"
b. Click on "Tools" and then select "Map Network Driver"
c. input the \\ipaddressofserver\sharename to give the path of the share
d. Check "Reconnect at logon"
e. Drive gets mapped
f. Double click on the drive to check.
Second, Antivirus software or Windows Firewall may block the mapped share.
If there is any Antivirus software and the Windows Firewall is enabled on the problematic client. If so, please disable them to check if the issue can be resolved.
Third, Fast Logon Optimization is enabled on the clients.
The fast logon feature may affect the display and drive letter assignment of a mapped network drive. As a result, the drive may have been mapped; however, the user on client cannot see it in Windows Explorer. He may recognize it as a failed network drive
mapping. This is the reason why we usually suggest you to disable fast logon on the clients via a GPO, and please check if the mapped network drive will be occur under this circumstance.
Please also configure the following group policy setting to disable Fast Logon Optimization to see if the issue still exists on the problematic clients.
Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon
If we cannot get this issue fixed, please post back the event log related to this issue.

BOM not exploding in Sales order & Net Value error

Hello Dear all,
I have created a product "A" with BOM items 10, 20 & 30.
Item cat. Gr for "A" is ERLA & for 10, 20 & 30 is LUMF.
I have also created BOM with these 3 matls. (ie 10, 20 & 30).
When processing Sales Order Item cat. appeared in SO for "A" is TAP & for other 3 is TAN. "A" shows the price maintained for it, but not showing Net Value at Header level data in SO.
Also document is incomplete because of Net value for Items 10, 20 & 30.
I don?t want price of 10, 20 & 30 should display in SO at Item level
Can anyone suggest the required setting?
Thanks
Shan

hi,
For BOM mainly two material groups are used.
LUMF and ERLA.
If you used ERLA in the main material which consists of different materials then the pricing would be carried out only for the main item, while the other sub items pricing would not be displayed.
while if you use LUMF then the main material would not be priced but only the sub items would be relevant for pricing the the total of all the sub items forms the basis of the sales order net value.
regarding the net value error you can just check the pricing configuration for the steps and sub total.
regards,
Siddharth.

Net use map drive is working with built-in admin account only

I currently have a windows 7 PC that I use
net use in cmd file to map drive to Windows server 2008.
It works if I use built-in admin account/password but I've tried another account that's in the administrator group on the server and I get errors.
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:adminuseraccount
NET USE X: \\IPADD\c$\inetpub\ftproot password /User:server\adminuseraccount
After tweaking the net use command a number of ways, the 2 following errors are what I'm getting for the most part:
System error 1219 has occurred.
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.
OR
System error 5 has occurred.
Access is denied.
I've looked at many searches on this but can't get this to work.
Also, one thing I'm thinking of doing is changing the built-in admin name and password. Is this a safe thing to do?
Thanks,
Dave

I know what the answer is if I was on unix, but nothing on windows 2003
I have made sure i got all the rights to extjob.exe etc
I have change the job to reflect

just wonder if anyone has used NET USE...

"Net use" not working in application that runs as "system"

Hello,
I am trying to create an application object to distribute a program which
during the setup procedure creates two local users on the workstation. I
tried to set up the application to run as an unsecure system user and
start the setup.exe. This method worked fine for quite a number of apps in
the past.
However this app needs a drive mapping to a windows 2003 server to start
the setup.exe. Apparently under windows 2003 it is no longer possible to
use the "net use" command when running a script as system user. I get
system error 1312 "A specified logon session does not exist. It may have
already been terminated". There seems to be no solution from microsoft
since this is probably working as designed.
In another similar situation I copied the complete setup directory to a
novell drive, but in this case the setup procedure needs to write
information into a database located on the windows server. I might be able
to set up the application via snapshot and create the user accounts using
a distribution script. But I would need the consent of the windows
administrators since I need the passwords for those user accounts, and I
am not sure that they are cooperative in this respect. Furthermore I get
the feeling that this program is going to present a number of other
problems and surprises which probably will make the snapshot method very
tricky.
Is there any solution or workaround for this problem?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

1) It should not be an issue to run "Net Use" to authenticate to a Windows
2003 server from an "Unsecure System Prompt". This is quite common.
2) If the PC is in the domain already, this may be part of the issue since
you are already authenticated to the domain. Try adding the Domain
Workstation Object the proper rights.
3) Does the "Setup.exe" expand to an MSI install in the temp directory? In
such a case you could like create an MSI install that runs as a normal user
but the Windows Install will allow for the elevated rights.

VPN-1 SecureClient Error

Upgraded to SL and get this error every time I log in,
VPN-1 SecureClient Error
SecureClient services are down
Please reboot your machine to start them
When I reboot, it comes up again, any ideas???

I contacted CheckPoint about this yesterday. They confirmed that Snow Leopard is "not supported" yet. They are hopeful to release a new version soon. However, the SecureClient is older technology for CheckPoint. They are now using Endpoint Security nomenclature. I expect that whatever they come up with to support SL will go by the newer naming convention. I am not going to hold my breath over CheckPoint releasing a new version! If anyone finds a resolution to this, please post it here!

Native Installer works with Net Use, but AIR File does not.

I'm building an AIR application that runs a "net use" command in windows 7.
Strangely, the installer type appears to impact run permissions:
   + Export release build to "Native Installer" -> "Net Use" works and I see all my test alert boxes.
   + Export release build to "AIR File" --> animations run and the app is responsive, but I don't see any of my alert boxes and the "Net Use" command shows no sign of running.

Update - partial resolution:
Apparently you have to use a Native Install to use native functionality (don't know why this includes Alert Boxes).
I just found this bit on Adobe's web site:
     Packaging an AIR application in a native installer
          http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS789ea67d3e73a8b22388411123785d839c-8000.html
Adobe, please work to address this. I'd like to release cross-compatible code and this creates a situation where the user has to choose a different installer based on their platform. Minor, but annoying when an AIR file works for both in other instances.
It would also be nice to get some sort of error message. I had no idea why things weren't working (even my Alert boxes were being swallowed).

Thanks for the quick response. No, I did not get any error messages or any terms-of-usage screen. The employee I told my problem to was not computer savvy either. She just suggested I move to different spots w/in the library to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. When I connected to the library WiFi it did change the Verizon 3G that is usually in the upper left corner to iPad with two to three emanating arcs. I may have to go to the library in the next town. I was able to connect to theirs in the past when I had to download something greater than 20 MB. Unless I really want it, I will probably not even try to download something more than 20 MB due to the hassle. Yeah, I may have been better off getting a normal desktop or laptop and getting WiFi at home. To do that now would mean having my iPad 2 and a desktop computer, which I feel is extravagant. (I know there are a lot of big spenders out there who got the iPad as additional gadget for fun. This is a rich country.) A Verizon rep told me I couldn't set up a WiFi router at home just using an iPad. So it seems like a person who just uses 3G is limited to surfing the net (not even much YouTube because it eats a lot of data) and using email. I read about an app that helps print wirelessly using 3G, but a reviewer said you had to be an engineer to get it done right. BTW, I like the Steelers. I'm old enough to remember Franco Harris and that blond guy whose name escapes me back in the '70s. Since I live in North Jersey I feel I have to support the Giants. But I know football about as well as computers.
