Re: Possible Trend SMB 3.0 CSM problem on SBS2003

I did an upgrade from CSM 2.0 with the released v3.0 and there was nothing
during setup that suggested that I either enable or disable the Trend
firewall. I was aware of that problem before installing the upgrade "Thanks
to reading in this newsgroup" and was watching for that during setup and
made sure it was not enabled after setup was complete.
