No More Connections Can Be Made At This Time

Symptoms: When attempting access a shared folder on a remote computer, you may receive this message “No more connections can be made at this remote computer at this time because there are already as many connections as the computer can accept” or “This request is not accepted by the network. Try again later”.

Causes: 1) The share that is configured to allows a specific number of connections, and that number of connections has been reached.
2) The 10 user connection limit has been reached if the remote computer is w2k/XP.
3. If you have Per Server licensing, the license limit has been reached

"Multiple connections to the server or shared resource are not allowed"

Symptom: when attempting to join a domain, you may receive "Multiple connections to the server or shared resource are not allowed. Please disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again."

Resolution: try using net use /d from a command to clear all your mapped connections before joining the domain. You can also disconnect the mapped drive in Windows Explorer by right-click the mapped drive and select disconnection.
