Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user using more than one user name are not allowed.
HI!
I am currently using WIN2k advance server.
It is now currently a "printserver"
There are 2 users: user1 and user2
everyone is mapped to the printer using user1
I have a folder that needs to be shared out.
BUT only user2 can view the contents of the folder but not user1.
I treid to map it using my computer...
But i get an error saying:
the network folder specified is currently mapped using a different username and password
To connect using a different name, please disconnect any existing mapping.
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user using more than one user name are not allowed.
Any advice on how i can overcome this problem?
Can i change those that requires user2 to login as user2? How? Cause i think i checked the "save password" when i map to the printserver itself.
Please advice.
Cheers!

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
However, you shouldn't assign access to shares directly by users for this reason.
You should
1. Create the share(s).
2. Create a group.
3. Add users to the group.
4. Give the Group access to the share(s).
So, share the printer. Create a group called (for instance) "Printer users". Give the group access to the printer. Put all of your users (user1 and user 2) into that group. .
Then, create the folder you want to share. (folder1) Then create a group for that share (folder1users).
Give the group (folder1users) permission to the share. Add the users you want to access that share (user2) to the group (folder1users).
