Configure Windows Server 2008 for Common Internet File System (CIFS)

Common Internet File System (CIFS) also known as Server Message Block (SMB) to work properly you need to configure the Windows 2008 server as domain controller. But when configuring this you need to be careful about which version of SMB you are using. The compatibility is as follows.

 

Client	Server	Version of SMB used
Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista	Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista	SMB 2.0
Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista	Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000	SMB 1.0
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000	Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista	SMB 1.0
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000	Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, or Windows 2000	SMB 1.0
