problem disconnecting / replacing a networkdrive on windows 2003 server
I want to replace the N drive to map it to the same location but with other credentials.
The mapping is shown in windows explorer as a “disconnected network drive
When I run “net use” i get this .
“New connections will be remembered.
There are no entries in the list.”
When I try to remove the existing N-drive I get this:
“The network connection could not be found”
But I cannot use the N-drive to map using another nt –account.

Was it possible that the drive mapping was in use by an application at the time? Since the reboot allowed you to clear the mapping, that would be my guess.

This was the sollution for my problem.
Try this:
NET USE N: /DELETE
followed by:
NET USE N: \\ComputerName\ShareName [password | *]
[/USER:[domainname\]userna
For example:
NET USE N: \\Server1\MyShare password | mysecretpassword /USER: mydomain\JohnSmith
