From: varnk on 27 Jul 2010 13:31 I have a web application that is trying to establish a connection to a shared drive by pinvoking WnetAddConnection2. This call works as expected when I run it locally on my Windows XP system. However, when I try the same call on Windows Server 2003, I get an error 85 indicating that the local device is already in use. This occurs no matter which drive letter I try to use for the local device. If I go to the command prompt and do a Net Use with the same data supplied to WnetAddConnection2, the net use is successful. Why am i able to map a drive using Net Use, but I cannot get the same mapping to work calling WnetAddConnection2 in ASP.NET while running on Windows Server 2003? This is very perplexing.

This is very perplexing. Not really sure, but take a look at the permission of the aspnet process. When you map a drive from console, you're using you own credentials, while aspnet hosting process should be running under some other account with less privileges. Best regards.
From: varnk on 28 Jul 2010 09:36 I am not sure what permissions I should check. I would think that if it were a permission issue, the call to WnetAddConnection2 would give me a permission error code and not "Local Device is in use". As a side note. I tried this on a clean install of Windoes 2003 server and it works. Now I am not sure why it is not working on the original Windows 2003 server that I was testing on. I did not originally build the 2003 server that is not working correctly, so I don't know what could be causing the problem.
