Samba Frustrations

Question

Windows 10 1709 (Build 16299.125)&nbsp;ReadyNas Pro 6 (Radiators 4.2.31 )&nbsp;Windows 10&nbsp;&nbsp; upgraded to&nbsp;1709 (Build 16299.125), after which I find Samba v1 has been removed and I can no longer connect to my Readynas Pro 6 (Radiators 4.2.31 ) shares. &nbsp;&nbsp;I search most of the threads, however I did not find a concrete solution on enabling and configuring Samba V3 on the Readynas Pro.&nbsp;Best, thread I found was (https://community.netgear.com/t5/Using-your-ReadyNAS/SMB-1-0-Given-Wanna-Cry/td-p/1283738) which mentions adding “server min protocol = SMB3”&nbsp; to the&nbsp;/etc/frontview/samba/smb.conf.overrides&nbsp;file&nbsp;&nbsp; (FYI – file did not exist so I created it).&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Reboot system, but no dice.&nbsp;The thread also mentions installing SMB Plus, which I could not find for radiator 4.2.31. &nbsp;&nbsp;Is there a version around somewhere I could use?&nbsp;Are there any specific instructions on&nbsp; getting this work and configuring Samba?&nbsp;

The version of samba in RAIDiator 4.2.31 has experimental support for SMB2, but not support for SMB3.
&nbsp;
SMB Plus is an app for ReadyNAS OS 6.
&nbsp;
It sounds like you should either re-enable support for SMB v1 on your PC or consider upgrading to OS6 even though it's not supported (don't forget to make sure your backup is up to date first as you will need to restore that).

Thought about enabling Samba v1 on the OS, I cant find the service that enables it(does not apear to be installed. although Micrsoft pages say it can be re-enabled.

Before i do the upgrade to 6 (it will take days to back up the data), how can SMB v2 be enable on the readybnas?

BTW - thank you for the assistance

I avoid the accidental emulation by bolding the colons - I took the liberty of doing that with your post.
&nbsp;
On the main issue, turning on SMB1 is done in Windows 10 by

Entering&nbsp;turn Windows in the search bar.&nbsp; Turn Windows features on or off should appear at the top.&nbsp; Select it.
Scroll down&nbsp;the features list, and you will find SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support.&nbsp; Click on the + next to the checkbox.
Then you will see SMB 1.0/CIFS Client and SMB 1.0/CIFS Server as separate entries.&nbsp;
To simply access the NAS, check the client box and click ok.

If you want to back up a PC share to the NAS with the Frontview backup jobs, you'll need to enable the&nbsp;SMB 1.0/CIFS&nbsp;server also.&nbsp; That carries a higher security risk for the PC, so I suggest using a different way to back up the PC (Acronis TrueImage, FreeFileSync, or some other package that runs on the PC).
&nbsp;
After you enable the SMBv1 client, you might also find that you need to enter NAS credentials into the Windows Credential Store.&nbsp; If your NAS isn't using user-mode authentication, you should switch to that mode.

Had already tried&nbsp; most of these solutions to no avail&nbsp; usually i get this&nbsp;Feature name SMB1Protocol is unknown.A Windows feature name was not recognized.Use the /Get-Features option to find the name of the feature in the image and try the command again.&nbsp;&nbsp;also&nbsp; tried&nbsp;&nbsp;Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName smb1protocol&nbsp;and no go.&nbsp;Pretty much not matter what i tried, i could not install it.&nbsp;
