Error 1312 After Running Net Use Command from Batch File

Last reviewed: May 15, 1997
Article ID: Q114624

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1

SYMPTOMS

Error 1312 appears with the following text:

   A specified logon session does not exist. It may already
   have been terminated.

This error occurs when a scheduled batch file runs a command similar to the following:

   net use x: \\server\share /user:username password

This problem only occurs when you are trying to connect to an OS/2 server running Microsoft LAN Manager.

This problem does not occur if you manually type the previous command from Command Prompt or if the command in the batch file does not contain the user and password information.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows NT version 3.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
