Re: disabled network neighborhood user

["Lopez, Andrew" <alopez@xxxxxxxxxx>]

It means that they tried to connect to NetServer and failed.  This most
often is because they have a drive mapped to it, changed their Windows
password, and Windows banged three tries off trying to connect.

Disabled for NetServer is not the same as having the user profile disabled.
There are a couple of ways of seeing if the user has been disabled for just
NetServer:  API calls, Ops Navigator, etc.   For Ops Navigator, drill down
to TCP/IP servers, right click on NetServer and select "Disabled Users".   

Most kinds of maintenance on the user profile will enable NetServer
connectivity again.   Check out
