So, following the directions in the article, once I enable SMB2 on the NetApp, it will use SMB2 to communicate with the two DCs, right?
yes
Does enabling SMB2 on the NetApp also result in SMB1 being disabled as a protocol to use with DCs, or does it have to be explicitly disabled?
no you enable smb2 support only
if you show on fields after enable smb2 it is smb1-enabled-for-dc-connections = system-default and -smb2-enabled-for-dc-connections = true
you could but i have not try this
SMB2 Only
vserver cifs security modify -vserver netapp -smb1-enabled-for-dc-connections false
vserver cifs security modify -vserver netapp -smb2-enabled-for-dc-connections system-default
----
SMB1 / 2 abd 2 as default
vserver cifs security modify -vserver netapp -smb1-enabled-for-dc-connections true
vserver cifs security modify -vserver netapp -smb2-enabled-for-dc-connections system-default
Last question, given the concern with this latest ransomware and SMB1, should SMB1 as it pertains to the client connections, also be disabled on the NetApp, and if so, how?
i think netapp controllers not affected. if you sure that no old client or application need smb1 you can dissable smb1 but i think is not necessary.
