The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.1

This article was previously published under Q114624

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.
