| + | ===== Disconnect Network Drive ===== | ||
| + | When mapping a network drive on Windows, you cannot login with different accounts simultaneously. This behavior is by design as one server (uniquely identified by the given name) can only have one user authenticated to it at any given time. If you are already logged in as one user (e.g. admin) and would like to map the network drive as a different user (e.g. a regular user account), please disconnect the network drive first, before you attempt to login as the new user. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Unless you have mapped the network drive using the "reconnect at logon" option, you can either log off from Windows or restart Windows and it will automatically remove the mapped network drive. After login, you can then connect with your new user credentials. If you prefer not to log off or restart the system, please refer to the following instructions. | ||
