Identical Resources Open for Two Accounts in Server Manager

ID: Q138599

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0
Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

SYMPTOMS

When two accounts (one as a service and another as a user) are locally logged on to a Windows NT computer and you use NET USE to connect to a local share, Server Manager displays identical connections (resources) for both accounts. For example, if REPL logs on as a service when an administrator logs on and issues the following command and then views Server Manager's User Sessions for the computer, both administrator and REPL are displayed with identical open resources:

NET USE * \\<server name>\<local share or C$>

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT Workstation and Server versions 3.51 and 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
