Given the various issues we've had with SMB over the years, what I did was abandon share drives entirely, and use shortcuts instead. Where you would normally map a drive, create the shortcut in a "Network Drives" folder. That folder is on my desktop, and I also pinned that folder in file explorer for fast access. As another benefit, the share drives sometimes play with locks on files with the folder open, probably due to SMB issues again, but with these explorer shortcuts, I don't see that problem anymore.
It sounds complicated at first, but, once setup, it's just as easy as share drives.

Hi,
Tried to map a network drive on my Windows 10 PC to the root of one of our IBM i servers (running v5r4).
Got the following message...
I used to be able to do this.
I saw a note on the archives from Rob Berendt about this but it wasn't clear to me what needs to be done, or if it would work on my old v5r4 server.
Since it's a protocol located on my PC, it seems it's a Windows 10 issue.
Anybody else dealt with this?
