The manufacturing shop floor just got to XP. It was a struggle at Cummins. We just pulled LU6.2’s 10 years ago, AIX and Tru64 5 years ago. All the PLCs and such run XP; almost every PC on that shop floor runs XP. They have all just come over from serial. Everything is one-off because that’s the shop floor. The manufacturers of shop floor software had to be brought kicking and screaming after the deadline for 2000 and Win95 (and DOS, yes DOS networked). I’m glad I don’t work there because they were replacing terminal servers back to a redundant as heck proprietary UNIX system. Would you want to be 1 of the 5 people supporting 1000 PCs on a shop floor where one PC can bring the entire line to a stop? They wanted to allow India’s HCL to do it with a 96 hour support window. Windows, oh Windows, boy I do not miss you!

Easier way to disable SMBv1 via powershell
Set-SmbServerConfiguration
-EnableSMB1Protocol $false
Then Run
Get-SmbServerConfiguration
You’ll see EnableSMB1Protocol set to False
You can enable SMB 2 ina similar way.

Good day,
Is this the same SMB protocol used in the share and storage management in the server manager under file services? Won’t this be affected?

In reply to ?????? ???????. P.S. And, by the way, besides all this hysteria there is some alternative assessments like that: «The Verge: Windows XP computers were mostly immune to WannaCry.»
