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

TLDR; try this and reboot
Open administrator cmd prompt
dism.exe /Online /Enable-Feature /All /FeatureName:SMB1Protocol
for some reason the forum keeps putting the emoticon, see also @ https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/7ac3mo/how_can_i_reenable_smbv1_in_windows_10_1709/

Emoticons are special character sequences, and generally start with :
I avoid the accidental emulation by bolding the colons - I took the liberty of doing that with your post.
On the main issue, turning on SMB1 is done in Windows 10 by
- Entering turn Windows in the search bar. Turn Windows features on or off should appear at the top. Select it.
- Scroll down the features list, and you will find SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support. 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.
- 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 SMB 1.0/CIFS server also. 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).
After you enable the SMBv1 client, you might also find that you need to enter NAS credentials into the Windows Credential Store. If your NAS isn't using user-mode authentication, you should switch to that mode.

Had already tried most of these solutions to no avail usually i get this
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.also tried
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName smb1protocol
and no go.
Pretty much not matter what i tried, i could not install it.

Do you see it listed when you look in "turn windows features on or off"?

Do you see it in powershell when you run it as administrator?
That is, Get-WindowsOptionalFeature –Online –FeatureName SMB1Protocol
- ylafontFeb 05, 2018Aspirant
