I receive the following error every time I try to map a drive to an IFS share on our as/400.

Could not map drive, error (4): A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated

I have the appropriate credential specified and can map the drive in Windows without a problem. I did find an old thread referencing that the following security option under group policy objects should be disabled:

Network access: Do not allow storage of credentials or .NET Passports for network authentication

I verified that this object was set to Disabled and have installed the latest version of VisualCron (5.6.9). Still no luck mapping the drive.

The credential I am mapping the drive with is an as/400 user profile, not an active directory user. This shouldn't be an issue, though, as I have VC tasks that are using the same credential to copy files from the IFS location without any problems.

Any ideas? I need to have the drive mapped in Visual Cron, as I have a vbscript that references the drive mapping. When the script is launched by Visual Cron, it doesn't recognize the drive reference even if windows has the drive mapped. Script works fine when launched manually.

Try using an ip instead of computer name.

IP is what I have been using. Any other ideas?

Try using completely new logical drives that are not used by your other user. For example L:/

Tried a few different logical drives. No luck. Is there any other information that might be helpful?

Which user are you trying to use? A user on the remote server or a local user? Is it in a domain?

---

It is a user on the remote server. It is not a domain user, it's local to the as/400.

We don't have AD integrated with the box, so the drive has to be mapped using this type of user.

Are you saying that the remote computer is an AS/400 machine?

---

Yes, it is.

Even though it is Samba I assume the problem is related to that.
