Hi new to PRTG Network Monitor and I can't find how to reverse what I have done or how I did this any help to point me in the correct direction would be grateful.

I get the following error on one of my sensors,

Logon failure: Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the sane user, using more that one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again (1219) code: (PE029)

This error means that the computer running the PRTG probe tries to open two or more SMB connections to the same host using different credentials. This is not allowed by the SMB protocol.

It most likely happens when another program is already connected to that host when PRTG is trying to connect. Please make sure this is not the case on the computer running the PRTG probe.

It also might be that you've configured at least two SMB file/share sensors (devices) with different credentials which try to monitor the same share or computer. Please use identical credentials for all SMB sensors on the same host.

Kind regards,

- Volker

Thank you, i have setup 400 sensors in my trial and this was the only one that had this error, i searched but could not find how or why and could not understand what was happening. I resolved the problem by rebooting the PRTG server all look well now.
