Archived from groups: microsoft>public>windowsxp>work_remotely (more info?)
I have a VPN set up and can connect from my home and have various drive
mappings to our office server which work fine when I'm in the office over
the LAN. When connected over VPN the drive mapping work periodically but
sometimes I get a warning: "Drive already in use. The connection has not
been restored"

Can anyone help out on this.

Many thanks

Marcus

Presuming these are cached/remembered mappings, you might want to use a
batch file login script - should do this in the office too, really.

net use * /del
net use x: \\servername\sharename /persistent:no
etc

This could be an offline files issue - you may already be connected to
the drive (with a file in use, etc). This will cause an error when
you attempt to remap the drive.
