How to Resolve Access Blockages to SMB Shares Due to Security Policy

When using SMB, you may encounter access issues to shares due to certain security policies. A common solution to this problem is to disable guest access in the security settings.

• Steps to resolve the issue:
  • Log in to the SMB interface.
  • Navigate to the security settings.
  • Find the “Guest Access” option and disable it.
  • Save the changes and restart SMB if necessary.

By disabling guest access, you prevent unauthenticated users from accessing the shares, thereby enhancing the security of your system.
