Authorization/connection issues

Avatar

Only on my main computer, no matter what user I run the console as, I get the error that multiple connections to the same server/shared resource with the same user name is not allowed.

I can connect and deploy from my laptop, no problem; but from my main machine, I can't. I even can from my test VM. I've killed all connections to the share, and I've rebooted a few times. I've even re imaged my machine, and still the same issue!

Any ideas???? I really don't want to have to run a VM to run the Deploy console...

    Hi,

    I know you mentioned that you have killed all connections to the share but I want to verify. Do you have any mapped drives? This is usually the big gotcha. A GPO will map a drive using your logged on account and then PDQ Deploy will attempt to connect to a target OR grab Install Files from a file server using the deploy credentials that are different from your logged on credentials. At this point you will receive this error from Windows.

    Here's my setup:

    PDQ Deploy installed on my main desktop. MDT on our WDS server. I have created a user, deployuser, in an admin group, to deploy. The deployuser is also granted full rights to the MDT share (where all of my applications are, for simplicity sake).

    In my VM, I have no issues. On my machine, I have issues. I have other shares that are mapped, BUT none of them are on the WDS server. I also don't have the MDT share mapped, either. For some reason, ONLY on this computer, the computer itself, or just the software, thinks I have it mapped...
