In troubleshooting a CIFS/SMB issue, I am trying to configure SMB signing to cause a failed connection.
- On the server (Windows 2012 domain member), I have SMB signing disabled. Server – Digitally Sign Communications (always): Disabled | Digitally Sign Communications (if client agrees): Disabled - On the client (Windows 7 non-domain member), I have SMB signing required. Client – Digitally Sign Communications (always): Enabled | Digitally Sign Communications (if server agrees): Enabled I did remember to reboot after making any changes to these settings. When I type \\fileserver <file://fileserver> from the client, I get prompted for credentials, enter the credentials and make a successful connection. The account has write access and I’m able to copy a file to the share, delete, etc. Does anyone know why this would succeed?
