#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : A network resource keeps refusing credentials that are correct Fix : Drop the existing session before opening another Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-sec-credential-stale Run as : Elevated Command Prompt Expect : 10 minutes Risk : low Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Error 1219 or the multiple-connections message. HOW TO UNDO IT Mapped drives set to reconnect restore themselves at sign-in. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
