SYMPTOMS
When you run the NET USE * /HOME command, you receive the following error
message even though you have used the correct syntax:
The syntax is incorrect.
For help, type NET USE /?
CAUSE
If the error message is immediately displayed after typing the command and
pressing ENTER, you are probably using incorrect syntax. If the message is
returned after a brief delay (a few seconds), there is a problem with your
Windows NT or LAN Manager home directory configuration.
RESOLUTION
To work around this problem, contact your network administrator to verify
the home directory configuration.
