Samba: Windows versions that dont allow guest login

[Morten Moller]

In the https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html guide ;

Make it more apperent that certain Windows versions dont allow logging in to a samba server as guest.

The list of windows versions that dont allow this can be found here : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4046019/guest-access-in-smb2-disabled-by-default-in-windows-10-and-windows-ser

For example, one could change lines 2-4 to something along the lines of :
The server will be configured to share files with any client on the network without prompting for a password. If your environment requires stricter Access Controls, as is the case with Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Education and Windows Server 2016 Datacenter and Standard edition , see Securing File and Print Server.

The error message that you get in any of the aforementioned Windows versions is just a " could not find network path". It is only when you look in the SMB1 event logs that you see that Windows itself declines to connect to a server that has guest login enabled.

Please let me know if i can help with anything.
