Multiple Connections to A Server Not Allowed

Sometimes you may get this error message when you try to access a shared folder in LAN:" multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed" or "The network folder specified is currently mapped using a different user name and password. To connect using a different user name and password, first disconnect any existing mappings to this network share."

Those behaviors are set by design by Microsoft.

To get around of it, your can try to access the server or the shared folder using IP address instead of the server name. If you have a DNS in your network, you can configure another alias for the server.

Or, just delete all the saved shares by using command line:

net use * /delete

and then set up a new share.

Kaseya Backup Failed? Possible Solution here:

Recently we noticed a lot of server backup operations failed. We never got any problems before. After we did a thoroghly check, we found it was caused by the administrator account used to perform the backup operations. The password of the account was expired! It prevented the server backup software passing the credential check. So if you setup automatical server backup, please remember to set password never expire.

How to do it in command line:
You can use Net User command to create an account and set the account never expires.

For instance: To set an account "BackupAdmin" with the password "pwd123"

net user "BackupAdmin" "pwd123" /add /expires:never

Do not forget to add it to Administrators.

net localgroup "Administrators" "BackupAdmin" /add

Finally, use "Net Accounts" to set password never-expire

Net Accounts /MaxPWAge:Unlimited
