Re: Possible Trend SMB 3.0 CSM problem on SBS2003

Mark --- gosh I sure hope you learned your lesson (as you said you did) of
not making so many changes all at once. Shoot, I have some SwingIt servers
that I did this summer that I still have not installed SP1 nor Trend CSM3.
CSM2 has been running great on those boxes, so why rock the boat?

Also, make sure from now on that you check in here FIRST before going into a
panic mode by uninstalling things. Maybe I'm from the old school, but except
for some specific hotfixes or patches that have gone astray, I have yet to
be convinced that starting to uninstall things will make things work better.
Generally it's just the opposite - and you go from bad to worse.

In your case, thanks for letting us know your experience and the issue with
the firewall and Trend.

FYI, I've only installed CSM3on my test server at home (an upgrade tfrom
CSM2), and it did NOT enable the firewall.
