RE: disabled network neighborhood user

Usually this means that the user has a Windows user profile that matches
their iSeries profile, but the passwords do not.  When they try to access a
NetServer share the Windows password gets used and disables their NetServer
profile.

You can fix this by running CHGUSRPRF against the disabled profile.  Using
Ops Nav go to Network->Servers->TCP/IP. Right-click on iSeries NetServer,
and select Disabled User IDs. Select the User ID and click Enable User ID.

subject: disabled network neighborhood user

Periodically, we get messages like this.

 User profile xxxxxxxx disabled for iSeries Support for Windows Network 
   Neighborhood access. 

Users do not seem to be affected by this disabled profile.   So my 
questions are:
1) What causes users to be disabled in this manner? What is it that they 
are doing?  I know that they exceeding the maximum number of sign on 
attempts, but where, doing what?
2) How is this reset, or how can I see if a user has this disabled?  I 
don't see anything in WRKUSRPRF to reset the network neighborhood access. 
The traditional profile remains enabled.
