Different methods are available to disable SMBv1 on Windows 2016. This is the preferred method, however if V-78123 and V-78125 are configured, this is NA. Open "Windows PowerShell" with elevated privileges (run as administrator). Enter "Get-WindowsFeature -Name FS-SMB1". If "Installed State" is "Installed", this is a finding. An Installed State of "Available" or "Removed" is not a finding. |

Scroll down to "ROLES AND FEATURES" in the right pane. Select "Remove Roles and Features" from the drop-down "TASKS" list. Select the appropriate server on the "Server Selection" page and click "Next". Deselect "SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support" on the "Features" page. Click "Next" and "Remove" as prompted. |
