Note it could be disabled with a group security policy.

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?
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).
Awesome 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.
