Enabling LAN manager lanmanworkstation SMB10 mrxsmb10 on windows 10 workstation to connect to SAMBA share

Question

Saturday, February 20, 2016 1:12 PM | 1 vote

Hi, I have an issue with my windows 10  workstation! The problem is that I cannot connect to my SAMBA fileshare,  it is working from other clients and I can ping and connect with FTP.

When I diagnose, windows 10 replies "protocol is missing"

So I tried to add the service

C:\WINDOWS\system32>sc.exe config lanmanworkstation depend= bowser/mrxsmb10/mrxsmb20/nsi
[SC] ChangeServiceConfig SUCCESS

But it did not install:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>sc.exe config mrxsmb10 start= auto
[SC] OpenService FAILED 1060:
The specified service does not exist as an installed service.

And when checking the Service:

SC.EXE  QC  mrxsmb10    replies: The specified service does not exist as an installed service

When checking the files, I have the files:

 Directory of C:\Windows\System32\drivers
30-10-2015  08:17           430.944 mrxsmb.sys
30-10-2015  08:18           285.696 mrxsmb10.sys
30-10-2015  08:17           216.408 mrxsmb20.sys

I assume  one fix could be to reinstall  SMB protocol? how do I get an install image?  can I get only the SMB part from Windows

Any idea how to fix the issue?

By the way, my system was a Windows 7, upgraded  by MS  in November 2015. by the standard procedure.

  If you upgraded to Windows 10 in November, this could be caused by the computer browsing problem introduced with version 1511.

  See this very long thread (which is now locked).

Check SMB 1.0/CIF is enabled.

Control Panel / Programs and Features / Turn Windows Features On or Off and make sure SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support is ticked.

That can also be checked via a PowerShell prompt;

Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select-Object EnableSMB1Protocol, EnableSMB2Protocol

What error \ what is stopping the connection? Try disabling SMB 2/3

Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $false

Doe that help? Further info on the PowerShell commands How to enable and disable SMBv1, SMBv2, and SMBv3 in Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8, and Windows Server 2012

Thank you , at first I thought it was the solution.

"Control Panel / Programs and Features / Turn Windows Features On or Off and make sure SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support is ticked."  Was un-ticked, now ticket and reboot, - but same issue :-)

"Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select-Object EnableSMB1Protocol, EnableSMB2Protocol" return

EnableSMB1Protocol EnableSMB2Protocol

              True               True

When I try to map network drive and  ask for diagnostic I get:

"Problems found

One or more network protocols are missing on this computer"

and further details : Windows SOCKETS REGISTRY  entries required for network connectivity are missing" - not fixed.

but

"Restore network protocols to default settings - completed"

but what is missing in the registry ?

Well try a reset of TCP/IP and Winsock, from an Admin Command Prompt;

netsh int ip reset
netsh winsock reset
