This accomplishes the same, but it is more detailed:Ĥ. Close the Local Security Settings Window. Double-click on ‘Microsoft network client: Send unencrypted passwords to connect to third-party SMB servers’ĩ.
Scroll down to near the bottom of the list.Ħ. On the Security Setting folder, click the plus sign next to Local Policies to expand it.ĥ. On the Administrative Tools folder, double-click Local Security Policy.ģ. – Set “EnablePlainTextPassword”=dword:00000001Ģ. Select the Enabled radio button and click OKĪlternatively, you can access the registry and enable it following the steps belowīrowse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\parameters] Open Administrative Tools and select Local Security PolicyĬlick on “Microsoft Network client Send unencrypted password to 3rd party SMB servers” (right pane) Extended support only gives security updates as opposed to new features or functions, and there's only a couple of months left before that ends for Windows 7.Īt this point, I only recommend Active Directory or a dedicated user account for scan to SMB since it makes it much easier to troubleshoot issues with local user accounts, or logged in users in terms of permissions.Īny equipment still out in the field that doesn't support newer versions of SMB should be fielding a lot of calls from the sales weasels to the get machines upgraded.You need to enable clear text password (The plain text version of an encrypted password.) on a Windows machine if you need to access shared folders (using SAMBA) or server access to a UNIX / LINUX server MS also has not changed any settings in the OS to turn the feature off either. I can't see my windows 7 customers checking to see if its turned off or not in regedit.Because Windows 7 is out of mainstream support, the ability to turn off SMB1 has not been backported to it. At least with Windows 10 you can walk the average user through the settings in Features and then explain the cons on what this settings will do if they turn it back on. i just hope that a new windows 7 update is not turning off SMB on its own.
