Windows 10 and SMB 2 2EE51BRY00128
Our IT department does not want to enable SMB 1 in Windows 10. I went through the process of installing "Enable Root SSH Access" and CLI min protocol to SMBV2. This did not work. Any other ideas?
Please be more specific as to how you enabled min protocol of SMBv2 so we can verify it was done correctly.
Would your IT group be OK with upgrading the NAS to OS6, even though you lose Netgear support? With OS6, you get SMBv3, and a lot more security enhancements associated with a more up-to-date Linux core. You also gain the ability to move the drives from the Ultra to a newer NAS without jumping through hoops if/when the time comes your Ultra finally quits.
Per (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS-in-Business/SMB1/m-p/1305130#M169712)...I added "min protocol = SMB2" to the global section of ./etc/samba/smb.conf.

Did you also set max protocol = SMB2
Did you restart samba after you did this?

I do not recall if I did...I'm following up this after a few months. I do recall rebooting the ReadySAN. Is there an documentation on the steps or are these the two items I might have overlooked?

SMB2 support is experimental in your old NAS and disabled by default - so you would need to set this.
There is no documentation on disabling SMB1 in legacy ReadyNAS - and if the settings work, they might not be sticky. That is, making other configuration changes to the NAS (creating new shares, adjusting settings on old ones, ...) or reinstalling firmware might undo them.
Upgrading to a new ReadyNAS is probably the best approach - for instance the RN426. Also, as Sandshark suggests, converting the Ultra-6 to run OS-6 is another avenue that would give you SMB3 along with other features. Netgear provides a supported way to disable SMB1 on the OS-6 ReadyNAS, using their SMB Plus app.

That may not remain after a re-boot or any change to SMB shares. A better place for it is in the Global section of /etc/frontview/samba/addons/addons.conf. Create one if it doesn't already exist.
