Attempting to mount a client to an SMB network share and you can receive the message:
Err Msg: System Error 1240 Has Occurred. The Account is Not Authorized to Login from This Station.
Symptom
When connecting to a network share and the share name is incorrect, you will receive a very confusing error message.
1 2 3 4 5 | net use x: \\Server\<span style="color: #ff0000;">XYZ</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">System error 1240 has occurred.</span> <span style="color: #ff0000;">The account is not authorized to log in from this station.</span> |
Solution
Selecting the correct share name (XYZ1 instead of XYZ) resolves this.
1 2 3 | net use x: \\Server\<span style="color: #ff0000;">XYZ1</span> The command completed successfully. |
The error message caused by selecting a non-existing share makes this error message confusing.
