    Hi Eagle51 ,

    I don't know PowerShell so your script is interesting , everything is working AFAIK but I get an error in the script that it can't find a "item property in the registry" but it still runs .....I have added the error to the top of the Check.txt file if you don't mind looking at it please.... BTW the script saves the file to the User's Desktop Folder ...which likely works with most people but if like me you have your Desktop Location on another Drive , the Script doesn't respect that and still uses the User Folder so you can't see it on the desktop.

    Thanks

    Hey Kbird,
    It's just combined commands from here - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...in-windows-and

    So, it's just a simple snippet with no error checking, but some errors can still be helpful, if you know what your looking for *Smile Obviously the smb-check.txt will be different for different setup scenarios (ie. Regular File Sharing, NAS, Router USB File Sharing, etc)

    I didn't think about people moving user folders to another drive. Might have to look into to that, thanks.

    That error is from this line - Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path HKLM:SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters -Name SMB1,SMB2

    To enable or disable SMBv1 on the SMB server, configure the following registry key:
    Registry subkey: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
    Registry entry: SMB1
    REG_DWORD: 0 = Disabled
    REG_DWORD: 1 = Enabled
    Default: 1 = Enabled (No registry key is created)


    To enable or disable SMBv2 on the SMB server, configure the following registry key:
    Registry subkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters
    Registry entry: SMB2
    REG_DWORD: 0 = Disabled
    REG_DWORD: 1 = Enabled
    Default: 1 = Enabled (No registry key is created)

    Thanks Eagle51 I have those under LanManWorkstation ( maybe I did that? can't remember ) so I added them under LanManServer too and the script runs fine and puts the .txt on the Desktop, after I set the output to the Desktop Folder on E: .

    I am old school and like using Desktop Icons for current "projects" eg folder shortcuts , websites, etc as I hate the Start Menu/favourites (bookmarks)..... this way if I need to re-install win10 I simply move the Desktop Location back to E:\ after a reinstall and all my shortcuts are back on the desktop.

    Desktop Restore 1.6.4 by Jamie O'Connell still seems to work well in Win10 to re-organise the Icons too if they get messed up.

    BTW ... I forgot to mention, if you just wanted to see the output in PowerShell and not save to a .txt file ... just use this

    get-windowsoptionalfeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol
    get-smbserverconfiguration | Select EnableSMB1Protocol, EnableSMB2Protocol
    sc.exe query mrxsmb10
    sc.exe qc mrxsmb10
    sc.exe query mrxsmb20
    sc.exe qc mrxsmb20
    sc.exe query browser
    sc.exe qc browser
    sc.exe query fdPHost
    sc.exe qc fdPHost
    sc.exe query FDResPub
    sc.exe qc FDResPub
    Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path HKLM:SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters -Name SMB1,SMB2
    Get-ItemPropertyValue -Path HKLM:SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation -Name DependOnService

    Most of the issues are in regard to removing SMB1 and network file discovery AFAIK ...so no .....as that has been or is being like HomeGroups removed from Win10 permanently.

    looks like I messed up my network yesterday playing with these powershell scripts *Sad I no longer see other computers on the network on this computer this morning.....

    I don't know what's going on with Network. I don't even see MY computer on my network! Just my wife's. On her's I just see her's. Odd.

    Is there as safe way to reset & start fresh?

    I noticed If you have the Server module of SMBv1 installed you will see your own computer under Network otherwise as a Client you only see other computers, printers, NAS etc

    I am not sure 100% if one computer on the "Network" should be set to Server or not..... I can't see anything at the moment but am waiting since sometimes Network Discovery can take an hour or more to update the "list" from the server before you see other computers.

    If that doesn't work I will re-image the system to 2 days ago with Macrium reflect and hope that puts it back the way it was on Monday....

    I have only used the Reset>save my information Option once and it worked pretty well ...it does save pics/docs etc but you still have to reinstall most programs.... it even puts a list of the Apps it removes on your desktop , so you know what to reinstall.

    Another day, another change in how Explorer / Network works.

    Today, all three PCs are listed in Explorer / Network / Computer on all three PCs - two desktops & one HP laptop. I did absolutely nothing to change this... it fixed itself. *Rolleyes Tomorrow... or maybe even later today, who knows? *Wink

    Must be gremlins at play! *Wink

    Sounds like it just took a while for the "List" to populate across the Network , mine are back today too after running Macrium restore last night and setting ( or trying to) my second Router as the Master Browser on the network since it is always on, unlike the desktops and M$ Surface I have. The Surface is a strange one it seems to be able to stay on the "network" almost no matter what if it is On.

    Let's hope so, Kbird. Glad to hear your Network is okay.
