Can't use this directoryentry constructor if other connections to the remotehost exist.

I attempt to connect to a remote system with an alternate set of creds (admin creds, while my normal user has a mapped share to the remote system as a nonadmin user), but receive

Source: System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement Message: 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. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800704C3)

It would be nice to have a mechanism for retreiving this data which does not require one to kill all other connections to the target host!
