What does the Windows event logs say on your Win 7 clients as well on the server?

Guest/Anonymous access is blocked per GPO (ComputerConfiguration\Administrative Templates\Network\Lanman .Workstation "Enable insecure guest logons") on the server.

It is roughly the same as the post above. &nbsp; So that is what you need to try.

We have recently commissioned a new Server 2019 file server and for some reason, our Win 7 workstations can't seem to access the shares.<br />
We can ping the server. we can browse the share, We can authenticate. but after that we an &quot;access denied&quot; error message and a reprompt for a password (which will always fail)<br />
<br />
Win10 and Mac OSX clients can connect and work without any issue.<br />
<br />
We have tried to install SMB 1.0 services (that we don't want to use - was mostly out of desperation) to no avail.<br />
<br />
Any idea/suggestion most welcome.<br />

Win 7 enterprise + Server 2019 - all patch applied.

Windows 7 client can't access 2019 SMB share

Windows Server 2019

A server is a computer program or a machine that waits for requests from other machines or software (clients) and responds to them. This architecture is called the client–server model. The clients may run on the same computer or may connect to the server over a network. The purpose of a server is to share data or hardware and software resources among clients. Typical computing servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers.
