I know, I know... it is old news... I (only) just noticed some of the items listed in the deprecated and removed features in Windows Server 2012 R2.

By the way... does anybody remember if we ever got any final resolution for the problems with SMB2 that VFP was having (when accessing DBF tables through shares using SMB2)? Turning off SMB2 (to force a fallback to SMB 1.0) will not be something we could count on to work (not that that was ever a "solution" of any sort).
