Re: Concerns disabling SMB2?

while not shown in this tech doc:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1021348

a call to QZLSMAINT as shown here:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1021710

To determine whether NetServer is using SMB2 (the shipped default) or whether it is using SMB, execute:
CALL PGM(QZLSMAINT) PARM('40''0')
...and then:
WRKSPLF
Display the resulting "QPCSMPRT" spooled file. If SMB2 is turned off (disabled), you will see an 8 in both the OLD FLAGS and NEW FLAGS,
OLD FLAGS
0000000000000080
NEW FLAGS
0000000000000080

If anything other than an 8 is displayed in this position, then SMB2 is in use.


Be aware that even if SMB2 is enabled, some clients might default to using SMB (the Samba smbclient, for example) and will not use SMB2 unless the client is specifically set to do so. IBM can not provide instructions on how to set or check what version of SMB a client computer is using. For information on how to do so, contact whoever supports the Operating System running on that client computer.

I've resisted disabling SBM2, but I'm to the point where there are just too many Windows Networking problems with Windows machines to continue with SMB2.

Are there any concerns or gotchas with disabling SMB2?

Any well to tell for sure it's been disabled?


Thanks
