Got a NAS?
Posted on June 2, 2024 at 00:15 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the ForumsIf you have a home Network attached storage (or NAS) be aware that there are some changes coming down the pipeline with the Windows 11 24H2 release.
As noted by Microsoft, they are planning to enable something called SMB signing or server message block signing. We’ll have more on this along with more guidance but for now, I’ll urge you post here what device and model you have in the comment section.
While in an office setting we want SMB signing, at home I have no issues disabling the signing. But we have a LOT of time to worry about it before I recommend 24H2.
Until then, do you use a NAS? If so, which one?
