Windows 7 asks for credentials when accessing Folder Share on World Edition II 4TB

I had same problem with Windows 7 Ultimate in domain network. Vista clients could access shares, but win7 couldn’t. Not even with same user credentials.

Junkman99 solution solved the problem:

  • Start → run → secpol.msc
  • Local Policies → Security Options → Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication
  • Change NTVLM2 responses only to LM and NTLM - use NTLMV2 session security if negotiated

 

In my case there were no reboot needed.
