This article was previously published under Q163520 SYMPTOMS
When using the NET USE or NET VIEW commands to attempt to establish a
session to a computer running Windows NT, you may receive the following
error from a real-mode Windows 95 client:
Error 58: This operation cannot be performed by the specified server.
Make sure that you have specified the correct computer name and command.
If the problem persists, contact your network administrator.
If you type NET HELPMSG 58 on a Windows NT computer, you receive the
following message:
The specified server cannot perform the requested operation.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by an expired password on the computer running
Windows NT. A network trace shows the following error returned by the
server:
SMB: R session setup & X - Server Error, (2242) Password Expired
SMB: SMB Status = Server Error, (2242) Password Expired
SMB: Error class = Server Error
SMB: Server error code = Password Expired
If you type NET HELPMSG 2242 on a Windows NT computer, you receive the
following message:
The password of this user has expired.
Therefore, the password has expired. You will not be able to perform any
network tasks until you change the password.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, use User Manager to change the password on the
Windows NT computer.
