Microsoft Deployment Toolkit Team BlogOfficial blog for MDT 2010
There have been reports of a problem when running Refresh, Replace, Sysprep and Capture, and Custom task sequences with MDT 2010. When running those scenarios an error message is displayed after completing the wizard that states “A connection to the distribution share could not be made”. When looking at the log files the error states: ‘Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.”
This problem seems to occur most often when logged onto the client machine as one user and entering different credentials into the deployment wizard or customsettings.ini.
We have developed a fix for this problem. To fix the problem you should edit the ztiutility.vbs file in the deployment share under the scripts folder. Open the file in notepad and replace the following code in the MapNetworkDriveEX function:
Case Else
' Case &h800704C3 ' Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed.
' Case &h8007052E ' Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
' There was a some kind of fatal error.
If ErrDesc <> "" then
MapNetworkDriveEx = ErrDesc
Else
MapNetworkDriveEx = "Unable to map UNC Path " & sShare & " :" & "( 0x" & hex(HasError) & " ) "
End if
oLogging.CreateEntry MapNetworkDriveEx & "", iLogType
Exit function
End select
With this code:
Err.Clear
On Error Resume Next
oNetwork.MapNetworkDrive chr(sDrive)&":", sShare, False
HasError = err.number
ErrDesc = err.Description
On Error Goto 0
If Err.Number <> 0 Then
Exit Function
End If
