#Requires -Version 5.1 <# JbTecWiz Support Centre -- generated fix script Fault : 0x80070035 -- "the network path was not found" reaching a share Fix : Check the dialect before considering SMB1 Source: https://jbtecwiz.com/support/win-net-smb-access Run as : Elevated PowerShell Expect : 20 minutes Risk : high Reversible : yes WHEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIX Genuinely old equipment. SMB1 is the last resort and should be treated as temporary. HOW TO UNDO IT Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName SMB1Protocol-Client, then restart. This script walks the fix one step at a time and asks before each one. Steps with no command are things you do yourself -- it prints those and waits. Run with -DryRun to print without executing. -------------------------------------------------------------------- NO WARRANTY - USE AT YOUR OWN RISK This script is provided by JbTecWiz as-is and with no warranty of any kind, express or implied.
