Hi Nagendra here I have existing a samba-3 installation which has a smb encrypt as mandatory i.e : smb encrypt* =* mandatory I am trying to connect to this machine's share with windows & I am getting the following error on the windows 8 client System error 5 has occurred. Access is denied. But I use the same client machine to access another windows-8 machine with SMB encryption I am able to access it. According to this MS technet article https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831795.aspx encryption is supported in win-8 & windows server 2012 Am I missing something ? Thanks all in advance for your responses. Nagendra.V.S

Windows 8 uses a different encryption scheme than what was supported in Samba before Samba 4.2. So unless you can upgrade to Samba 4.2.2, you will not be able to use Windows 8 encryption, sorry for that. If you can not upgrade Samba, you might contact Microsoft if they can change Windows 8 to support the old Samba way to do encryption.

I meant Samba-3.X (Samba-3.5 or Samba-3.6).
