Cannot Connect to Share With Single User Access (127828)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.5
  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.5
This article was previously published under Q127828

SYMPTOMS

If you create a share and set the user limit to one, and then a user connects to the share and runs a program or batch file, other users cannot connect until the first user shuts down Windows NT or a time-out occurs. After the first user runs a program or batch file and disconnects from the share, Server Manager shows that no one is connected or using that resource. Other users who attempt to connect to the share receive a message stating that the maximum number of users are connected to the share.



If a user connects to the share but does not run a program, the problem does not occur.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.5. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
