You can configure the following advanced SMB share properties when you create an SMB share or change its properties:
Option | Description |
---|---|
Continuous Availability | Gives host applications transparent, continuous access to a share following a failover of the NAS server on the system (with the NAS server internal state saved or restored during the failover process).
NOTE:Enable continuous availability for a share only when you want to use Microsoft Server Message Block (SMB) 3.0 protocol clients with the specific share.
|
Protocol Encryption | Enables SMB encryption of the network traffic through the share. SMB encryption is supported by SMB 3.0 clients and above. By default, access is denied if an SMB 2 client attempts to access a share with protocol encryption enabled. You can control this by configuring the RejectUnencryptedAccess registry key on the NAS nonencrypted Server (key path is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\RejectUnencryptedAccess). 1 (default) rejects access and 0 allows clients that do not support encryption to access the file system without encryption. |
Access-Based Enumeration | Filters the list of available files and directories on the share to include only those to which the requesting user has read access.
NOTE:Administrators can always list all files.
|
Branch Cache Enabled | Copies content from the share and caches it at branch offices. This allows client computers at branch offices to access the content locally rather than over the WAN. BranchCache is managed from Microsoft hosts. |
Offline Availability | Configures the client-side caching of offline files:
