- Windows 10 Entreprise disabled SMB access to shares requesting/proposing the guest credentials. It won't even prompt for a user/pass account
- ReadyNAS change log: OS 6.9.2 will fix this from the developers statements by disabling guest access
- Until now, we were obliged to add in windows 10 the NAS credentials under which we need to access the SMB shares
Current state using 6.9.3 firmware:
- I tried to remove the corresponding windows credentail in the NAS: conenction is broken. I still need to add in windows 10 enterprise the NAS account to access the shares.
It is behaving like if the NAS is still proposing guest access to windows 10
Bug report:
This issue that was reported is still not fixed under 6.9.3. Any technical explanation and why we still need to manually add a windows account to access a NAS share ?
So, there is no simple solution to access different shares, using different NAS accounts from within windows anymore ?
Never has been, and it's a Windows restriction. If you thought you were doing that, you must have actually been logging in as a guest. You can use the NAS name and IP address separately with different accounts, because Windows doesn't keep track of them being the same device.

Do you mean 6.9.3?

That depends on what you think the "It" is. As far as I can tell, the "It" has to be the windows PC. The ReadyNAS can't force Windows to prompt for the user/password. And not all versions of Windows behave the same way.

Sorry for the delay
Yes, my mistake, I mean 6.9.3.
The change log in firmware and the reports from Netgear Techs said that the ReadyNAS will fix it by disabling guest access for smb shares. The article clearly states that windows disabled guest access. The change in firmware was supposed to fix this issue.
Still, we need to add a special credential in either windows or NAS to access the NAS. This means any user connected to windows will have access to the credentials entered and that only one user credential is possible !
How can we access the NAS from a windows machine under different credentials and without saving password ? This by far a basic feature.
Example: I want a windows user to access NAS using SMB account "user1" and another accessing it using "user2" SMB account. Both users should be able to not save password. Is it possible and can Netgear fix it on their side as they said in change log ?

This is Windows behavior, it is not NAS behavior,
if you don't want to save password, you should run command "net use * /d" or logout/login in Windows.
