As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

Our IT folks just shared this info.
Win7, Win8, Win10, WinServer 2012 all default to SMB 3, not seeing any issues here.
It's only from this one WinServer 2008, which defaults to SMB2.

If you get recent fixes on 7.3 and your Windows machines it's not such
an issue.
How does one know for sure, in advance? The MTU /still/ does not mention SMB2 issues vis a vis Windows File Explorer. I just checked it.

But the knee jerk reaction many people did was open their 7.3 machines
to all sorts of security holes by disabling SMB2 and going back to SMB1.

and others...
SMB2 to Win7 completely killed a mission critical application.
What choice did I have?
Tell the boss that I'd rewrite payment processing ASAP?
