No access to shares after disabling SMB1 as recommended by Microsoft
Hi everyone, in view of the latest WannaCry/Crypt attack on 12 May 2017, Microsoft recommended to patch my Windows 10 OS and disable SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support. Check this link: ht...
On RAIDiator 4.1 and RAIDiator 5.3, they use versions of Samba that do not support SMB2. You will need to use the Windows tricks to re-enable SMB1 support.
On RAIDiator 4.2, it can support SMB2 but you may experience a performance hit that you could find unacceptable.
We can see about creating an unofficial add-on for RAIDiator 4.2 boxes that you can use at your own risk to be use SMB2. These devices were not meant to run SMB2 though. All of the RAIDiator boxes are older than 5 years. It might be time for an upgrade.
If you are really concerned, you can unofficially upgrade most RAIDiator 4.2 boxes to OS 6 at the risk of factory defaulting your NAS and putting your data back onto the volumes. Alternatively, you can upgrade to a newer ReadyNAS and use the old ReadyNAS as a backup (always smart to have multiple backups, which eliminates single point of failure).

If you're sharing a printer (as I am) you can switch from SMB to IPP and access it that way.
Hi peterkin
how are you?
Thank you for the reply.
I tried NFS (Enable NFS on the share, install the NFS Client on Windows 10), but is super slow on this unit.
I have same issue. Cannot view shares without turning on SMB1. Using Windows 10 1703.15063 Retail.
I can get to it fine manually via Run.
Turned on SMB2 in LanmanServer/Parameters. Tried every setting in SMB Plus.
Using OS6 version 6.7.4
Problem is, the next public release will have SMB1 disabled and the fast ring release already has SMB1 disabled. Microsoft states this is for security reasons.
So question is, how can I view NAS shares without SMB1 enabled?

I tried this with Windows 7.
Disable SMB1 by running elevated CMD
sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb20/nsi
sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= disabledThen reboot to apply.
I had no problems accessing my RN526x (OS 6.7.5) and my RN202 (OS 6.8.0-T40). entering \\nas-ip-address in the file explorer address bar.
The PC can no longer access my Pro (running 4.2.31) or my Duo v1 (running 4.1.16)

Run what?
This is only a Windows 10 Issue only. Disabling SMB1/CIFS is what causes the issue. SMB1 must be enables or you cannot view shares.
Also Netgear removed the WINS ability in OS6, so I cannot even use my WINS server.
It appears to me that SMB Plus does not work, because no matter how that is set the ReadyNAS still only usis SMB1/CIFS. Also NFS only works on some workstations and not others. Yes NFS is enabled in Windows 10 and ReadyNAS.
What I meant when I stated 'Run', was I can get to the NAS with a direct connection in the runbox. ie \\192.168.1.28\MyShare works fine,
Issue is the shares will not show in the network workgroup list. In my case it actually hangs when I try to list the network shares.
I guess the only answer here is to save up and buy a new NAS before the next version of Windows 10 comes out. It won't be Netgear.
