Windows - can't connect to IFS after password change

By kimot, 27 December, 2022

When you change password on LPAR and then you notice problem when you try to connect to IFS from Windows computer. There is probably problem with old credentials stored on Windows system.

You can show actual credential on Windows and you will get something like this

C:\Users\myusername>net use
New connections will be remembered.


Status       Local     Remote                    Network

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK           Y:        \\pgfil01\Departments     Microsoft Windows Network
OK           Z:        \\projects\public         Microsoft Windows Network
OK                     \\ibm1\IPC$               Microsoft Windows Network

you can delete stored credential using this command

net use \\ibms1\IPC$ /delete

don't forget check if user profile isn't blocked on your LPAR (you can use Navigator)

Disabled profiles Navigator
