Anyone running the Fall Creators Update having issues connecting to KBox Shares
Ever since I loaded the Fall Creators update on my laptop I am having issues connecting to \\K1000\clent and \\K2000\drivers... Anyone else having these issues?

- Run Registry Editor (REGEDIT).
- Navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
- Right click on the Parameters key name, and select New -> DWORD (32-bit) Value.
- Name the new value as AllowInsecureGuestAuth and set its value data to 1.
- You should be able to access CIFS / SMB / Samba network shares instantly without login.

had this with W10 Enterprise 1709 only. (No Pro and any other 1709 versions)
The above way did not work for me (in- and outside of the domain, with a joined and a not joined appliance and different SAMBA servers with SMB1 activated)
Had to enable SMB1 on the clients as Microsoft described here:

Nico_K,
I think it is the combo of both as SMB1 is not installed by default in the Creators Fall Update...

I also found this to be true. First I had to enable the smb1protocol and then had to update the registry. - breanne 7 years ago

While this does work, it's not a great workaround. Microsoft specifically disabled guest access in SMB2. See here:
Microsoft states that "By enabling insecure guest logons, this setting reduces the security of Windows clients."

If permanent access isn't required, another temporary/specific option (safer than the registry change option)...
1. Open command prompt
2. net use \\<kbox name or ip>\client /user:admin<or other username> <password>
You should now be able to access via File Explorer, etc.
Not sure how long this access lasts (my belief is until you logoff/restart the Windows computer).
Open CMD , and type NET USE.
Use NET USE to delete any existing connections to the appliances.
i.e.
net use /delete \\YourKBOXIP\Client - Channeler 7 years ago
