Hi,

we was told to disable SMB1 because of seruritiy issues.
But after the test nothing works again.

Is it possible to share normal files without SMB1 ?
Is it possible to use Xbase++ DBF file sharing without SMB1 ?

Is this the end of shared files and a must go to SQL Server ?

Regards,
Hubert

SMB depends on OS so if you have a old NAS or Printer with SMB1 you might 
get no Connection with Windows 10

as SMB1 is used by "Computer Search Service" so Explorer might no other PC 
under Network
also other Services might be disable while Windows 10 will disable it when 
not access SMB1 within 15 Days

[quote]Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Professional still contain the SMBv1 
client by default after a clean installation.
If the SMBv1 client is not used for 15 days in total (excluding the computer 
being turned off), it automatically uninstalls itself.
In-place upgrades and Insider flights of Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 
Professional do not automatically remove SMB1 initially.
If the SMBv1 client or server is not used for 15 days in total (excluding 
the time during which the computer is off), they each automatically 
uninstall themselves.[/quote]

while SMB1 is supersede by SMB2/3 share Files and Locking/Unlocking Byte 
Ranges in Files work.

if you still have Problem with your App you can try :

1.) there is NO Drive Letter any more. use shared Folder for it
2.) use UNC-PATH for Folder. UNC-Path can use IP
3.) use a Static IP for each Workstation instead of DHCP
4.) as "Public" Netzwork have dynamic IP, change it to "Privat" Network

now you should be able using IP to attach a Folder and access DBF Files.

Also good to know:

If you run any .exe from old SMB1 type share Windows 10 OS (current release
1803) will actively prevent that exe from making TCP/IP connection outside,
per example to MySQL, Postgres, Oracle servers, SOAP servers, etc.

On the other side, SMB2 file servers should be just fine.
