I will have to check to see if SMB 1 is enabled. What is the best method to verify if it is enabled or not? Sorry not family with location of setting. I am trying to access both by dns and ip. The NAS does have user that match current logged in account as well as tried using different credentials as well.
What is strange is I can map drive via personal windows machine that is remoted into the system on the network. In the same token all machines on the network can't. That why I felt it may be tied to a GPO that the AD network machines are tied to and not my personal.
Can you give me a bit more details on this comment: Is there a share name on the NAS that matches the user logon or machine name of the PC?
Thank you in advance for helping me too i honest appreciate your feedback.

This has info for both the SMB client and the SMB server - you are interested in the SMB Client sections only (since the server is the NAS).
Note it could be disabled with a group security policy.

You can run into SMB issues if the NAS has a share name that matches the username, because the NAS also tries to create a home folder for that user the first time they access the NAS with SMB. That fails, because the share name collides with the home folder name.
It can also be a problem if the NAS has a share name that matches the PC's hostname (though I don't know the reason).
- temmersondSep 14, 2017AspirantAwesome great info to check. I will check and report back to you today what I am finding. Luckily I haven't made share name anything similar or the same as any user/hostname names. I will create a new gpo and link it to machines I need the share accessibile on. I appreciate your input and will take your suggestions and try them out.

I've not seen that one, but googled this link: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/account-is-not-authorized-to-log-in-from-this-statiom
Also, it might be related to the SMB signing settings ( https://serverfault.com/questions/569442/theaccount-is-not-authorized-to-login-from-this-station-error-while-trying-to )
