Win10 computer can't connect to Win2003 share because of SMB1

 We had an incident today where a new laptop with Windows 10 Pro couldn't connect to the folder share on one of our servers. The server is an old Windows 2003 Standard. After some research, I found that SMB 1.0 is no longer included in the newer releases of Windows 10.

I had an issue today where an Office update caused my C# applications to stop connecting to my access database. I suddenly started getting the error: Here's how to fix it. First, confirm that you do not have Office 12.0 OLE DB Provider by opening up PowerShell and running this command (New-Object system.data.oledb.oledbenumerator).GetElements() | select SOURCES_NAME, SOURCES_DESCRIPTION This screen shot was taken after I fixed my computer. It shows ACE.OLEDB.12.0, 15.0, and 16.0. If you don't have these, run the Access 2016 runtime installer from: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50040
