What, besides web server access, are these accounts for
and can it cause other accounts to get locked out if they
are disabled? Can you give a brief scenario if so?
 
IUSR is used to impersonate anonymous users on your IIS server, so
dissabling this user simply dissables anonymous http access to your web
server, unless you change anonymous settings in IIS.
IWAM is used to imperosnate web applications running on your server (out of
process and pooled out of process isolation modes). This are various dllhost
processes that host ASP applications and such.
