You find a missing mapped drive and / or you attempt to map to a drive and you receive an error stating: "You can't connect to the file share because it's not secure. This share requires the obsolete SMB1 protocol, which is unsafe and could expose your system to attack."
The error:
First, let's discuss the fix:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\LanmanServer\Parameters
Smb1 set to false (0)
Smb2 set to true (1)
If either are missing, add them as you see above. In my case, a reboot was not required, it just solved the problem.
There are a couple of interesting facts about this situation --
1. SMB1 has already been disabled so I'm not exactly sure why it's been revived.
2. I believe this registry entry should have both SMB1 and SMB2 but only SMB2 was present on this server and it was set to false. I had to add SMB1 and set to false.
