Legacy Server not working without SMB 1.0 Need suggestions please

Hi guys!

I recently clean installed Windows 10 RS4 April 2018 update on my Laptop. So far so good. After a while I noticed that I couldn't see my others computers (one is a PC and the other one is a server). I investigated and after catching up I realized it was because SMB 1.0 is no longer included with the current Windows 10 iteration. Well... no shit! lol

Probably a lot of people currently having issues with their home network is because of that. This being said, I found this MS article and I can now see my network computers again (yay). But this is not really helping for my legacy server tho...

The article is here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/...ult-in-windows

I read there is huge security concern about SMB 1.0 so my question is this one:

Is there any workaround that would allow me to use my server in windows explorer without SMB 1.0?

Thanks!

Well, I can still use the web feature, but getting a new 4 bay NAS is not cheap tho... :-(

I guess I have no choice then. Until now, I never realized I was that much outdated! Lol I took network discovery for granted. I switched off SMB 1 on all my computers.

I expect a lot of people struggling with this tho since on a fresh Windows 10 install you don’t see your network computers unless you take some steps like shown on the link I posted earlier...

And this is if your computer or server support modern SMB versions... Am I right?

Something like a WD My Cloud Mirror which is what I have aren't that expensive and they include the storage drives.

I already have 4 hard drives so the best solution for me is to get a new server and put them on it (I think)

Just got a Synology DS918+ and I totally love it! No need for Samba v1 anymore!

I can now burn my Patriot Javelin S4! Lol it served me well during all these years tho. Back then they were so proud to present it as a low cost NAS for everyone but their idea just died. Lol
