SYMPTOMSIf you log on to a Microsoft LAN Manager domain when starting Windows for Workgroups and you are running a logon script that makes network drive connections, the following error message may appear: This error may appear for one or more persistent network connections. Although this error occurs, any persistent connections should still be accessible from File Manager. CAUSEUsing LAN Manager logon scripts for network drive connections in conjunction with Windows for Workgroups is not recommended since Windows for Workgroups maintains its own list of persistent network connections in the CONNECT.DAT file. If you need to use a logon script for network drive connections, use the workaround detailed below. WORKAROUNDTo work around this error message, rename the CONNECT.DAT file in the Windows directory to CONNECT.OLD and add the /PERSISTENT:NO (/P:N) parameter to lines in the logon script that make network drive connections. The following line is an example:
Any previous Windows for Workgroups persistent network connections
that aren't created with the logon script need to be manually
reconnected, which rewrites the CONNECT.DAT file. Make sure not to
create any network connections that are already in the logon script.
Once the Windows for Workgroups persistent connections are re-created, you should not have any problems using logon scripts for other network connections as long as there is a /P:N parameter after the NET USE command so that it does not write to the CONNECT.DAT file. MORE INFORMATION
This error is caused by the LAN Manager logon script using a NET USE
command, which by default writes the network drive connection to the
CONNECT.DAT file used by Windows for Workgroups for persistent network
connections.
