>Walter, Brandon, All - Sorry for opening an older thread but how does one switch off / disable SMB2 on the W2008 servers and Vista workstations and what effect will this have for the user?

Just google disable smb2... to turn it off is a simple registry entry... I just don't remember offhand which one.

I've never noticed any difference at all by disabling smb2 in terms of performance. Technically SMB2 might be faster in some scenarios, but in real-world user perception the performance is identical.
