I am able to create users on Pro Plus, and they appear on the replacement workstation (usernames appear), but whatever I enter for password, is rejected on the workstation when I attempt to log in -- the only account I can log in to DeltaV with, is the 'administrator' username, and its password, does work.
The workstation in question downloads without errors, except one: When I download this workstation, this message appears: 'Error uploading displays and charts. Unable to copy operator graphics or chart files from workstation OPSTAT1'. I am not sure if that is related.
I ran workstation configuration utility to set up this workstation. It is a workgroup network topology. Much Thanks,
Frank

From Books Online (my bold emphasis):
Creating a user account from the DeltaV User Manager creates a Windows user account and a DeltaV database account on the local computer. The DeltaV database account appears on all workstations in the workgroup. However, to log on to a workstation and use the DeltaV database account, users also need a Windows account on each workstation. To create Windows accounts on other workstations, use DeltaV User Manager to replicate user accounts to other workstations.
As far as I remember you need to create the user account with User Manager on the ProPlus. In the Properties | General tab in the Account Type area, Operating System (Windows) Account must be checked (which I think is the default). Then right-click on the user name in the users window and select Replicate Account. You should see a list of workstations on the network. Select the first one and click OK. Repeat for the other workstations. As far as I know this sets up the user name and password in the Windows security system on that workstation. There used to be a bug which meant that after clicking replicate, User Manager occasionally crashed. Just restart it and carry on. The replication will have succeeded.
The process is a bit of a pain if you have a lot of workstations which is why a domain set up is better. Incidentally you did say workgroup in your first post. Some people don't read.
