Thanks in advance for anyone who can help with this question. I am running a
small network with Windows 2003 server. I have a Ricoh Multifunction
Copier/Scanner/Fax which allows documents to be scanned and then stored
directly to a location on a network server. To do this, you simply enter the
path into the printer where you want the scans to go. However I have found
that because of 'SMB signing' being enabled, I cannot browse the network
ffrom the printer OR store the scans to the network. If I turn off or
disable SMB signing at the server by changing the following registry keys;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanManServer\Parameters
Add Value names as type REG_DWORD: EnableSecuritySignature and
RequireSecuritySignature
Set both values to 1 (enable). The default is 0 (disable).
Then I CAN browse the network from the Ricoh Printer. HOWEVER, in a matter
of hours, the registry keys that I changed have reverted back to their old
values and SMB signing is re-enabled. I am guessing that this is due to the
group policy on my server but I am not sure. So, all this being said my
questions are as follows;
1) Am I turning off SMB signing properly? Is there a setting within the
group policy that I have not been able to find?
2) Is it even a good Idea to turn this off? What are the drawbacks of
disabling SMB signing?
Thanks again so much for any advice!
