Hello there,
The default level value for LmCompatibilityLevel for each version of Windows is as follows:
Windows XP: 0 Windows 2003: 2 Vista/2008 3 Win7/2008 R2 3
Since 2019 is after 2008, the default value for Windows Server 2012 should also be 3.
Increasing the LMCompatibilityLevelabove 3 on a client will make no difference, but it can be lowered if there is a need to communicate with very old servers.
