System Error 1219

System Error: 1219:

System Message:

The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.

Unfortunately, this is not an error directly related to our software and it can be duplicated outside of our software. The most common reason for this error is that you already have a connection to the remote machine using a different set of credentials. I have included Microsoft's description for this error below. Many times you may not be aware of the connections made on your behalf but you can use DNTU to both display all connections and to disconnect any connection to the machine in question and then try to re-connect to the machine with the credentials that have adequate rights to do the job. It simply means that you already have a connection to the remote machine with a different set of credentials (UserID and Password) other than the ones you are trying to use for the second connection. Quite often, software will make connections to remote machines, and you may or may not be aware of those connections. DNTU does have tools to manage the connections. Click on the "Disconnect Network Connections" icon (see attached image) in the toolbar and then from here you can view all connections and also disconnect any conflicting connections.

I have also experienced the 1219 error when attempting to connect to certain remote machines. Unfortunately, this error is not directly related to the DameWare NT Utilities program. The most common reason for this error is that you already have a connection to the machine using a different set of credentials (see below for Microsoft's explanation), however, it is possible to receive this specific error even though there is no other connection to the remote machine.

One resolution is to reboot your local machine. Once rebooted, I have been able to connect fine.

You may also want to make sure you do not have a duplicate UserID on the source & destination machines that contains a different password. If this is the case, you may want to make sure the UserID & Password are identical on the source & destination machines (i.e. Microsoft NT Pass-Through authentication). You may also want to try prepend the IP-Address or HostName to the UserID (i.e. IP-Address\UserID). I have found that certain flavors of Operating System & Service pack may get confused when you have the same UserID on both the source & destination machines with different passwords.

Here is some additional information from Microsoft about this specific error message:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Err Msg: The Credentials Supplied Conflict with an Existing set of Credentials.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1

Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server

Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5, 3.51, 4.0

Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional

Microsoft Windows 2000 Server

Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server

------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS

Windows NT does not allow you to make multiple connections to a shared network server from the same workstation if you attempt to use more than one set of credentials. If you attempt to make two or more connections to the same server using two or more sets of credentials, you will receive the following error message:

System error 1219 has occurred.

The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials.

RESOLUTION

To make the connection with the other account, disconnect the previous

connection(s) to the server. This behavior is by design for security purposes.

MORE INFORMATION

A set of credentials consists of a user name and a password. Both File Manager and NET USE allow you to specify a parameter that designates which user account you want to use when you connect to a server. If you make a connection to a server using one account, then make another connection to the same server using a different account (with the first connection still intact), you receive the above error message. To make the connection with the other account, disconnect the previous connection(s) to the server.

Steps to Reproduce Problem

On your computer running Windows NT in the same domain as the server that you want to connect to, use File Manager connect to a share on the server. Do not type anything in the Connect As field.

Establish a second, separate connection to the same server, either to the same share or a different share on that server. This time, specify an account in the Connect As field. This account must be different than the one with which you are currently logged on.

Choose OK. The above error message appears.
