Ned, Thank you for the help. I've tried to report the error several times, but the support page times out with a SBOX_FATAL_MEMORY_EXCEEDED error while I'm working through my write up (I noted the the system memory crawls up to 10.1GB every time before I get the error page).

Hi Ned, cool article!I have a query:Is there a way to Control SMB Dialects that the SMB Server exhibits in the response to client's request?eg. If I want to enforce SMB3.1.1 in my home network, is there a way to specify the SMB Dialect on the SMB Server without modifying the clients?
