If they know they need it how hard can it be to turn it back on?

Tell that to a CIO who found out they needed it after a 40,000 seat outage, though. The potential for homegrown LOB, missed, or shadow 3rd party SMB1 in a large enterprise is pretty vast, especially where Linux has a presence. Seehttp://aka.ms/stillneedssmb1

But you just said that enterprise admins would know if they needed it? Also, yeah, if you don't test your deployments and they fail the reason is you didn't test your deployments.

Some do and some don’t. When you deal with as many customers as Windows has, even small percentages have huge consequences either way. People like to think there are one size fits all solutions, but they should try owning a protocol on several billion computers first

Replying to @NerdPyle @fardarter and
That why we do one behavior for clean (no smb1) and a different one for existing (whatever you had set for smb1 we leave u touched at first, and if it was just an inherited mistake, we auto uninstall later)

I have yet to see the SMB1 server feature auto uninstall (either in a VM or on bare metal). But I guess perhaps there's a scenario where it could happen?

Have you seen the client uninstall? Your earlier replies implied you weren’t aware of this feature. It will take 15 uptime days without an inbound/outbound connection to trigger.

Correct. Other than you mentioning it, I haven't seen any evidence that the feature exists. And I've not seen SMB1 automatically uninstall in any of my VMs that have it by default, nor have I seen SMB1 automatically uninstall on the Win10 machine that hosts the VMs.

Review the article and meet the requirements, it will uninstall. In fact the Windows Update people recently found an issue where it makes them do a second reboot on a Patch Tuesday on millions of clients and they were very cross with us

If you find that it’s not uninstalling, review the event logs, they will say where you are making SMB1 connections. If none, Feedback Hub a bug so we can investigate. And with that, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Does this require manually enabling the AuditSmb1Access option? None of the machines I've looked at have this enabled by default. Which perhaps explains why I've not seen automatic removal of SMB1?pic.twitter.com/goBrLhsVCy
