I have run into a very odd situation and have not been able to sort it out. &nbsp;This is a new 2008 R2 install in workgroup role. &nbsp;I can map shares w/ perms for Everyone on multiple computers. &nbsp;I want to create a protected share for two users. &nbsp;I've tried various methods of assigning rights to the share for two users, user1 and user2, to gain access. &nbsp;When I map the share on a workstation (XP Pro) I have no problem doing it for the first workstation. &nbsp;If I try to repeat that on a second workstation I get an error saying that the share is already mapped with a username and password and cannot create it, have to disconnect the first share. &nbsp;I've even tried it with just one user and get the same error<br />

The odd thing is I just did something similar on a new 2008 Foundation machine in workgroup mode and had no problems mapping the share on multiple computers
