Goal

Samba allows Linux and Microsoft Windows systems to interoperate using the SMB/CIFS protocols, such as for Linux systems to access and print from Windows based file and print servers. Different versions of Windows support differing versions of the SMB protocol (SMB1, SMB2, SMB3) and enforce the use of specific minimum SMB protocol versions. Similarly, different versions of Linux use differing SMB protocol versions by default. Depending on which Linux/samba version and Windows Server version are used, Samba connectivity issues may occur due to incompatible SMB protocols version being used.

The SMB1 is an old version with some security issues and still enabled in some servers. This document describes how to ensure the Samba client does not use the SMB1 and uses SMB2 or higher protocol version without modifying its configuration file.
