Hi,
.
Due to old production software and XP clients, SMBv1 has remained enabled, even though a Windows Update was supposed to remove it.
Now that there are only Windows 10 PCs as clients ( over 100 all needed to have SMBv1 enabled) I want to disable SMBv1 on the server.
Can anyone comment on whether Windows 10 will automatically start using SMBv2 to communicate with the server, and it's network shares when they log onto the domain again, once I disable SMBv1 on the DC?
If there weren't so many client PCs involved, I'd just go ahead and do it, but am concerned about a disastrous outcome.
All thoughts and suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance
Roland

Hi DSPatrick,
Thanks for your reply.
I had already read the info on the link you provided.
My issue is whether the Win 10 PCs that have SMBv1 enabled will have problems after I disable SMBv1 on the 2008R2 server.
Thank you
Roland
There should not be a problem but you can try in a test environment to confirm this.
