It is an age thing, which is why I knew what you ment. ☺ From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Charles F Sullivan Sent: Tuesday, October 24, 2017 2:53 PM To: ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] GPO application question.
Correction on that first paragraph: Meant to say "not applying that setting to Windows 8.1/2012R2 and later." (There'll be a lot more where that came from. It's an age thing....)

It's the exact setting that Window 2012R2/8.1 and later has by default even with SMB1 enabled, so it won't add or change anything. I just don't see how it would cause a problem. On a side note, I was cautious about removing SMB1 altogether as a feature from my Windows 2012R2 and 2016 images because those servers would be linked to a GPO that disables SMB1. I went ahead and did that anyway on a test machine and there are no errors in the Event Logs, etc, despite the fact that it added some registry settings (AFIK). Side note number 2: For some reason it seems that even after refreshing a newly linked GPO and rebooting, I had to refresh GP yet again to get the mrxsmb1:start=4 setting to apply. I've seen this on a few machines anyway.

So for example the SMB setting below is on an OU with Win 10 boxes in it. Is it just ignored? So it will get ignored and not mess up the Win 10 dependencies..correct? -- Charlie Sullivan Sr. Windows Systems Administrator Boston College 197 Foster St. Room 367<https://maps.google.com/?q=197+Foster+St.+Room+367%0D+%0D+Brighton,+MA+02135%0D+%0D+617&entry=gmail&source=g> Brighton, MA 02135<https://maps.google.com/?q=197+Foster+St.+Room+367%0D+%0D+Brighton,+MA+02135%0D+%0D+617&entry=gmail&source=g> 617-552-4318<tel:(617)%20552-4318> -- Charlie Sullivan Sr. Windows Systems Administrator Boston College 197 Foster St. Room 367 Brighton, MA 02135 617-552-4318
