If you just comment it out, it will default to the version of the samba server, like &quot;Samba xx.xx&quot; - you have to set it to a blank string.

I would like to change the Server String variable in my Samba setup. &nbsp;I have changed the value in smb.conf and restarted the samba server, but all the Windows boxes still see the old name. &nbsp;I've rebooted all the Windows boxes as well and they still come back up with the old Server String on the Samba share. &nbsp;What do I have to do to get the Server String to change?<br />
<br />
Even better, can I disable the Server String? &nbsp;None of the Windows shares seem to have a Server String. &nbsp;I've commented out the Server String variable, but just like changing it, all of the Windows boxes still see the old name.<br />

Samba - Server String change not working

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
