I tried enabling SMB2 on our network after upgrading to samba 3.6 and experienced the following problems. Commenting out "Max Protocol = SMB2" makes the windows7 and vista clients happy.
- [homes] Trying to open a html file in notepad fails on Windows7 Pro SP1. Opening it in Firefox (default browser) or Open Office works ok. - [homes] Mozilla Thunderbird insists on downloading all the IMAP headers each time it is launched on Vista Pro SP2. - [public] Copying files from the local computer or a USB key to samba works ok, but Firefox and Chrome are unable to save files to the samba shares. They download files ok (e.g. file.part) but seem to be unable to rename the file when the download is complete. - [public] Installing programs from samba seems to partially work. Installing Itunes 10.4 for 64 bit windows 7 seemed to work but the Apple Software Update program was not installed (uninstalling, copying iTunes64Setup.exe to the desktop, and running the setup program worked).
