Windows – How to resolve the error “The local device name is already in use.”

network-shareswindows 7

I try to map a network resource to my local device.

I receive the following error: The local device name is already in use.

I have the problem to find which purpose the device is used for. I try a command net use and do not see it in the list, therefore, it is not mapped to a network resource.

Does anybody know how to see the list of all used devices in Windows 7?

You need to remap the drive.

First:

net use * /delete

Then remap it using net use again:

net use Z: \\server\share /user:username password
