I can't connect with openmediavault on windows 11

  • hello good evening sir, I have a problem with smb cifs where I can't log into my server on windows.

    I have followed every method on youtube but did not find a solution, but when I use a cellphone or linux all can connect except OS Windows.

    please help me, I'm very frustrated with this. ;( ;(

  • This happens because Windows 11 does not have the smb v1 protocol activated by default. If you are on a secure network and have your router/firewall properly configured, you can do the following: in a powershell console running as administrator, type the following commands:

    When you activate the SMB protocol, you will see a progress bar in the console and when it finishes, the computer will restart. From there, you will see and access the OMV shared resources.

    thank you for replying, I have done what you asked and when I see the detection “Get-SmbServerConfiguration | Select EnableSMB2Protocol” the value is already true.

  • Did you recently update your Windows 11 PC to 24H2? In case you're accessing your SMB shares in guest mode this won't work anymore with the default settings.
    You have to start the group policy app with gpedit.msc and enable insecure guest logons via "Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates> Network > Lanman Workstation"

    thank you for replying Mr. haschmi71 I really appreciate it, and sorry I just replied to this message


    Yes, I have updated to the latest version of Windows 11

    I've followed what you suggested, but I still can't use it.



    I have also reinstalled Windows 11, maybe there was an error when I installed, but I still can't enter my sharing folder.

  • LanmanWorkstation service does not start

    To resolve this issue, add the missing registry entry on the affected computer. Use Registry Editor to manually create the entry, or open an administrative Command Prompt window, and then run the following command:


    Code
    reg add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName /t REG_SZ /v ComputerName /d <Computer_Name> /f

    In this command, <Computer_Name> represents the name of the local computer. this work for me on windows 11 24H2.


    If it doesn't work try other options, manually adding the credentials to the credential manager:

    1. Run (ctrl+r): control /name Microsoft.CredentialManager
    2. Select Windows references.
    3. Add Windows reference.
    4. Enter your remote path with credentials.
