Hi, I have a Server 2012 R2, ServerR2, hosts a shared folder, say \\ServerR2\Shared. One of my Server 2012, ServerA, cannot access that folder, and the SMBServer/Operational log shows:
The server rejected an invalid negotiation request. Connection was terminated. Client Name: \\10.56.8.133 Client Address: 10.56.8.133:12835 User Name: <hidden for secret> Session ID: 0x780014000065 Expected Dialect: 0x202 Expected Capabilities: 0x7F Expected Security Mode: 0x2 Received Dialect: 0x300 Received Capabilities: 0x7F Received Security Mode: 0x2 Guidance: This event indicates that a client is attempting to negotiate a second connection using a mismatched dialect or capabilities.
Here are some details I thought might be significant:
- All servers I talked about are VMWare virtual machines.
- ServerB, another Server 2012, running on a different VSphere host of ServerA, can access \\ServerR2\Shared via SMB 3.0.
- ServerC, another Server 2012, running on the same VSphere host of ServerA, cannot access \\ServerR2\Shared either.
- ServerA has no problem to access ServerB and ServerC via SMB 3.0.
- Other downgrade clients, Win 7/Win2008 R2, running on the same VSphere host of ServerA, can access \\ServerR2\Shared via SMB 2.0.
How to diagnose what happened on ServerA and ServerC, and how to fix that?
