Microsoft to Disable SMBv1 in Windows Starting This Fall
By Catalin Cimpanu from Romania

EXCLUSIVE — Starting this fall, with the public launch of the next major Windows 10 update — codenamed Redstone 3 — Microsoft plans to disable SMBv1 in most versions of the Windows operating systems.

Internally, Microsoft has been already building Windows versions where SMBv1 — a file sharing protocol Microsoft developed in the early 90s — has been disabled.

For example, Microsoft has disabled SMBv1 for internal builds of Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows Server 2016. These builds are not available to the public and are only for testing purposes.

"This will not reach Insider Flights for some time, and it does not affect released production code at all yet," said Ned Pyle, De frunte Program Manager in the Microsoft Windows Server High Availability and Storage group, who confirmed the company's plans to Bleeping Computer yesterday via email.
