SYMPTOMS

At times you may receive the error message:

General Failure Error Reading Drive O: Abort, Retry, Fail ?
The error occurs when trying to do a NET USE, and will occur from the MS-DOS command prompt.

CAUSE

This problem very often is caused by having a server-level that does not support the amount of users you are trying to attach to the specified server. For example, if you have a ten user server, and you try to attach an eleventh user, you will sometimes encounter the error.

RESOLUTION

Add a user pack so that your server-level allows the amount of sessions you are trying to support.
