You can get all your machines to use V1 hashes if you wish. It's a GPO setting on the 8.1/10 clients which downgrades the hash version. Then they would all play nice together, although V1 hashes are nowhere near as efficient as V2 and you lose DeDupe capability for the newer clients etc..

Windows 7 will pull from Windows 7 (duh) but not from 8.1/10 Has anyone noticed this behavior? It's not a big deal, just an observation. My environment is mostly Windows 7 but we have a lot of remote sites with horrible links and I thought this might be useful. Thanks, Dewayne
