Resolve Windows server connection issues via UAM
Authored by: Han Solo on Sep 15, '04 03:40:52PM

What timing — I had recently experienced exactly this problem on both my desktop and laptop in my office. The desktop problem was eventually solved by a reboot (nothing else I tried worked), but that was insufficient for the laptop. Eventually I had to trash my ~/Library/Preferences and start over with the re-created Apple preferences. (Even booting into "safe mode" had no positive effect.)

I don't know if it mattered, but around the time this problem arose, two possibly related events occurred: (1) the Windows server died a horrible death, and they had to replace the drive and restore from backup, and (2) the afp daemon on a Solaris server died unexpectedly. I was connected to both when each happened, so possibly some hard-core corruption of preferences or caches occurred.

If anyone has any further insight insight into the problem listed in this hint, I'd love to hear it.

I have had the same error message long time ago and couldn't find a solution for a few months but finally found it. I had some entries in KeyChain Access.app that were related to the Windows serves I used to connect to. I just deleted the two/three entries in Keychain Access.app and was able again to connect to all servers without any trouble.

Hoe this helps
