Unable to access Windows 2003 shared folder from Windows 10

---

We have some folders shared on old windows 2003 box, while trying to access them from windows 10 workstation, we are seeing following error …

 

In Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Windows Server, version 1709 (RS3) and later versions, the Server Message Block version 1 (SMBv1) network protocol is no longer installed by default. To enable it ,

Start powershell with privilege mode (on your windows 10 workstation) by >

Open CMD in privilege mode, and start powershell 

powershell

Now get status of ​SMB1Protocol

Get-WindowsOptionalFeature –Online –FeatureName SMB1Protocol

Probably it will be in Disabled State, change it to enable using following cmd,

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol

Afterwards, it may ask you to reboot machine, Do it to restart so that changes can take effect.

Status after enabling SMB1Protocol
