Reconnecting Laptop to Small Business Server Domain

As the ongoing saga of me recovering my computer to a pristine, clean install of the OS and conscious effort to only install apps that I need and use regularly, the latest challenge to my success is getting my laptop reconnected to our Small Business Server machine and attached to the Exchange e-mail account that’s already setup.

Whenever I try to go in and join the computer to the domain I get the following error.

connect-to-domain-error-1

The text of the error message is:

The following error occurred attempting to join the domain "RAPIDRESULTS":

Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again..

I spent far too long racking my brain trying to figure out what was the offending connection, so I went through and deleted shortcuts, dropped all mapped drives, and anything else I thought might be the offending culprit. It would be nice if Windows would tell you exactly what the connection is that’s giving you problems.

I then got this error message.

connect-to-domain-error-2

Anyone else think that little bit of error message is about as useless as saying

"The RAPIDRESULTS domain doesn’t really feel like connecting with you now. Please go away. Buh-bye"

Arrggh. Going to check my event log to see what I can find. Anyone out there have any ideas?
