Windows 7 – Cached Network Share Credentials

administratornetworkingwindows 7

I have an issue in Windows 7 where I get the following error message when attempting to access an admin network share on a machine in another domain:

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.

Troubleshooting I've Done

  1. Start > Run > cmd > net use * /DELETE
  2. Start > Manage Windows Credentials > Deleted all credentials

I still receive the same error until I reboot my machine. After I reboot, it works fine. However, I am able to log into the admin share if I hit it by its IP address.

QUESTION

My question is, is there somewhere else I should be looking for cached user credentials?

Best Answer

Just reverse your troubleshooting steps:

  1. Start > Credential Manager > Windows Credentials > Remove from vault
  2. Start > Run > cmd > net use * /delete

And voila! Network shared access succeeds with a different username.
