While Apple has eliminated a number of features from their macOS Server software over the years, there are still a number of instances where using a Mac as a file server in a Windows-friendly environment is necessary. Unfortunately, those using a Windows computer to connect to the Mac file server often face connection issues due to some out-of-the-box security and communication incompatibilities between the two systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you need to get a Windows computer connected to a Mac file server quickly, these tweaks below will solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step-by-Step Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Press the Windows key and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153R\u00e2\u20ac\u009d together on the keyboard and enter secpol<\/em>.msc<\/em> in the run dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Navigate to Security Settings \/ Local Policies \/ Security Options.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Find Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level<\/em>, and set it to Send NTLMv2 response only<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, ensure that Network Security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP Based (including secure RPC) Clients<\/em> is set to Require 128-bit encryption.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You may need to restart your computer for these changes to take effect, but once they do, you should have no trouble connecting to your Mac server from Windows 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
