GetLastError may return one of the following error codes: ERROR_BAD_PROFILE The user profile is in an incorrect format. ERROR_CANNOT_OPEN_PROFILE The system is unable to open the user profile to process persistent connections. ERROR_DEVICE_IN_USE The device is in use by an active process and cannot be disconnected. ERROR_EXTENDED_ERROR A network-specific error occurred. To get a description of the error, use the WNetGetLastError function. ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED The name specified by the lpName parameter is not a redirected device, or the system is not currently connected to the device specified by the parameter.
