Do ensure you get the latest HP CIFS kit - its better than previous versions.
I've looked at the HP CIFS kit, and the mind boggles. I use SAMBA in "workstation" mode (not DOMAIN usage - I've had no need to do so, up until now; I'm strictly a home hobbyist).
Hoff's comment suggests that even using the "latest and greatest" will not fix the VISTA client "problem", so I'm reluctant to "upgrade". If anyone knows differently, and can show an "easy" migration path, I'll check it out.

MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
