Configure SMB v1 client driver

Information

To disable client-side processing of the SMBv1 protocol, select the 'Enabled' radio button, then select 'Disable driver' from the dropdown.
WARNING: DO NOT SELECT THE 'DISABLED' RADIO BUTTON UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!
For Windows 7 and Servers 2008, 2008R2, and 2012, you must also configure the 'Configure SMB v1 client (extra setting needed for pre-Win8.1/2012R2)' setting.

* 'Manual start' for Windows 7 and Windows Servers 2008, 2008R2, and 2012;
* 'Automatic start' for Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012R2 and newer.
Changes to this setting require a reboot to take effect.
