I noticed I couldn't access my FreeNAS server on my Windows 10 machine recently, with Windows returning the following error when I access it:
"\\TOWER-X is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the this server to find out if you have access permissions.
A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated."
I tried accessing it from a Mac and that worked fine, so that tells me that the server itself is running correctly - although technically that only tells me AFP is working, so I tried from another Windows 10 machine and got the same error. Both Windows 10 machines are running version 1607. I then installed Windows 7 on an old laptop, and could access the server no problem. I never had this issue on older Windows 10 versions.
So all that tells me that the server is working, and the CIFS share set up is working, but something in Windows 10 1607 is preventing access. I am running an older version of FreeNAS (8.2) as I can't upgrade (I only have a 4GB USB drive running it at the moment) but looking through the release notes for 9.1, I didn't see anything regarding this issue. Searching for this issue on the forum didn't return anything either.
Has anyone experienced this before?
Thanks!
