Thank you for the reply.
I would prefer a RHEL 7 Samba 4 directive to address this. Like a global
directive.
We have a good amount of Windows workstations of different version involved, I
do not want to have to change them all. We do not use AD (large workgroup). I
have only tested with Windows 7 (my workstation).
My concern is merely a difference in behavior between RHEL 5 (Samba 3), and RHEL
7 (Samba 7). We are migrating from RHEL 5 to RHEL 7, I simply do not want any
behavior changes, and really, there should not be.
If anyone out there can assist on this further, that would be great.
Rick

This is a client setting and caused by SMB2 client redirector caching.
For details, see:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/windows/it-pro/windows-7/ff686200(v=ws.10)
Set all three registry keys mentioned in the MS doc to "0" and reboot.
I'm sure there is a GPO for this as well.
Regards,
Marc
PS: The reason because this did not happen on servers running on Samba 3 was
that SMB2 was not enabled by default before Samba 4.x.
