Office ad account is in use, but only Windows 11 cannot access network shared folder

Question

I'm using an ad account for all employees in the office

Windows 10 provides network access to shared folders

Windows 11 does not connect. (Error: Block unauthorized guests from your organization's security policy)

It is the same if you replace an unsecured guest usage item with Enabled in the Group Policy Editor.

Currently, I can't connect only on Windows 11 operating system pc, should I change the settings on ad account manager's side?

(If I need to change settings in Account Manager, why does it work in Windows 10?)

Answer 1

Hello

Thank you for your question and reaching out.

This occurs because Guest Access is disabled by default in SMB2.

This can be in Local or Domain GPO Guest account is blocked
