Windows 10 Pro: no longer able to access NAS shares
I have been living in the past -- running an in home workgroup with a half-dozen machines mostly running XP, backed up and with files shared on two ReadyNAS NV+ and one ReadyNAS Duo. All machines ha...
Share security was deprecated quite a while ago, because it was misbehaving with newer versions of windows.
I recommend changing to user-mode security. You can use a single user account for that (including the built-in admin account), and enter the user/password for the account into Win10's credential manager. There is a guide for the NAS part of this here: http://readynas.sphardy.com/2010/09/how-to-migrate-to-user-security-mode_4917.html
Interim update: the second NV+ and Duo were both not accessible with net use . . .
The NV+ returned "System error 53 has ocurred. The network path was not found", even though the machine is clearly visible on the network by Win10 with the IP address used in the command.
The Duo returned " ... error 58 ... The specified server cannot perform the requested operation."
I will try altering the security settings on the NV+'s as you suggest. As I recall the admin menu on the Duo it does not seem to offer differing security modes, but I will check.
Thank you.
Step 3 of the link to how to reset security to user contains an image preceded by the admonition to set the file permissions exactly as in that image. I was unable to view that image in chrome or (or Safari on a Mac). Could you possibly reproduce for me the contents of that image?
Thanks.
Looking at the Advanced Options tab under CIFS (with a little help from another post) I'm inclined to think that these should be implemented as follows:
Advanced share permissions
Share folder owner [Sharename]
Share folder group [user]
* * *
Share folder group rights [R/W]
Share holder everyone rights [R/W]
Check box for "Set ownership and permission for existing files ...."
Leave box checked for " Grant rename and delete . . . to non-owner . . ."
Are those correct? Is the "user" the name of the assigned user (which will be used by all computers on the network)?
Thanks.

Yes, those are the settings.
You can use the account username and group or alternatively nobody for the user and nogroup for the group. I use the admin account myself - which of course would give all the computer users full access to the NAS, including the admin web UI (since they can see the credentials in the Windows credentials manager).
I don't think this will get us all the way to a solution, since the duo only has user mode and isn't accessible. You can also reset the file permissions on the Duo using that advanced screen. Try doing that also, and see if that helps with the access.
