samba - Oct 2018 - win10 Samba shares discovery

Hello,

We have Samba 4.0.21 running on a Linux machine with a share configured. It
doesn't show in Windows 10 "Network" listing of available shares,
unless I turn on SMBv1 in the Window features (and reboot). Accessing the share
by IP or hostname works, even with SMBv1 disabled on Windows 10. Windows 10 is
of the build 1804.

Is enabling SMBv1 on the Windows 10 side the only solution to get Linux share be
visible for the Windows "Network" listing? Any help will be
appreciated.

Thanks!

Regards,
Sergei

Yes, it's the only way to see the samba computer in the computers' list.

When using SMB>=2, network discovery will use a different protocol
(WSD/LLMNR) which samba doesn't support.
So, from Windows you'll see all the other Windows computers, but not
the samba servers.

It's not considered an high priority issue, this is from 2015:

The subject has been discussed many times on this list, but this answer
seems really clear to me: do you think I can add this to the wiki[1] ?
