How to Connect Windows to Linux Samba Shares Easily
December 6, 2024 - It appeared one could not write to a Linux share from Windows 10. Considering how many businesses rely on Samba to share folders, this was a bad move on Microsoft’s part. Fortunately, the ability to connect to Samba shares wasn’t actually removed from the Windows platform; it was merely tucked a bit out of sight.

[Samba] Windows 10 compatibility?
I am running Solaris 11 (x84_64) with Samba Version 3.6.25 as primary domain controller, 2ndary domain controller and member file servers. This is a "classic" domain not Active Directory. Windows 10 works fine, with the same registry changes (sign/seal?) as required for Windows 7.

Samba 4, shares, wsdd and Windows 10 – how to list Linux Samba servers in the Win 10 Explorer | Linux-Blog – Dr. Mönchmeyer / anracon
The stupid thing is that we for a long while now had and have a relatively secure SMB2/3, but NetBIOS discovery only worked with SMB V1 enabled on the Windows client. Deactivating SMB V1 means deactivating NetBIOS at the same time – and if you watch your Firewall logs for incoming packets from the Win 10 clients you will notice that exactly such a thing happened on Win 10 clients. This actually means that you can have a full featured Samba/NetBIOS setup on the Linux side, that you may have opened the right ports on the firewalls for your Samba/WINS server and client systems, but that you will nevertheless not get any list of available Samba servers in Win 10’s Explorer.

THE REAL PROBLEM:

As you can see in this image...

...my user "eduardo" is actually "alldocube"... As seen in the print above the way the user "eduardo" ("alldocube") is in the system caused a huge confusion! Actually I couldn't understand how it happened...

SOLUTION:

So the only thing that needs to be done is to share (Properties > Sharing) drive "D" for the user "alldocube" (in my case) and give permissions (Properties > Security) on drive "D" for the user "alldocube".

To access the sharing using Linux open the file browser (Dolphin in my case) and in the path field enter smb://WORKGROUP@/ .

NOTE: smb://WORKGROUP\alldocube@192.168.0.5/D in my case

FUTHER QUESTION:

Is it possible to rename "alldocube" login to "eduardo"?

Thanks! =D
