Hi guys

As WIN10 seems to be being taken up by a lot of our customers, we are looking again at whether the OP LOCKS and SMB registry manipulation is still thought to be necessary.

We were originally having problems on networks with at least one WINXP PC along with one or more PCs with WIN7 (and upwards). So SMB2 was being disabled in that situation.

Now we seem to be in the opposite situation where using SMB1 appears to be causing more issues (including security related ones).

So we thought it might be a good idea to find out what everyone else in this community thinks.

Should we start disabling SMB1 instead? How is everyone else handling this?

hi,

your Problem seem to be that you still use SMB1 via Lanmanager which use "Drive" (NET USE)
since Windows Vista it is recommend to use "full" UNC Path "Folder" which use SMB2

! Note : since Vista "Server.exe" is default running on Workstation so you need to share Folder to access it.

if you use local Folder (e.g. \TEMP) you might need Alaska SMB2 Patch for Workstation.
