you might get errors like “network path not found” or :
To Enable access to shares with SMB V1.0 just add this key to the registery :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters] “AllowInsecureGuestAuth”=dword:1
To enable SMB1 on Windows 1803 workstations and above:
- Search in the start menu for ‘Turn Windows features on or off’ and open it
- Search for ‘SMB1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support’ in the list of optional features that appears, and select the checkbox next to it.
- Click OK and Windows will add the selected feature. You’ll be asked to restart your computer as part of this process
