Opcode
Info

Message #

A network connection was disconnected.

Server name: %4
Server address: %6!S!
Connection type: %7

Guidance:
This indicates that the client's connection to the server was disconnected.

Frequent, unexpected disconnects when using an RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) adapter may indicate a network misconfiguration. RoCE requires Priority Flow Control (PFC) to be configured for every host, switch and router on the RoCE network. Failure to properly configure PFC will cause packet loss, frequent disconnects and poor performance.

Message #

The client lost its session to the server.

Error: %1

Server name: %5
Session ID: %2

Guidance:
If the server is a Windows Failover Cluster file server, then this message occurs when the file share moves between cluster nodes. There should also be an anti-event 30806 indicating the session to the server was re-established. If the server is not a failover cluster, it is likely that the server was previously online, but it is now inaccessible over the network.

The server is responding over TCP but not over SMB.

The attempt to connect to the destination server failed, which is typically due to a network configuration issue.

This indicates a problem with the underlying network or transport, such as with TCP/IP or QUIC/UDP, and not with SMB. A firewall that blocks TCP port 445 or UDP port 443 or TCP port 5445 when using an iWARP RDMA adapter can also cause this issue. Since the error occurred while trying to connect extra channels, it will not result in an application error. This event is for diagnostics only.

Info

Message #

The server does not support multichannel.

Guidance:
The client attempted to use SMB Multichannel, but an administrator has disabled multichannel support on the server. This may also be a non-Microsoft file server that does not support multichannel or has multichannel disabled. You can enable SMB Multichannel on the server using this Windows PowerShell cmdlet: Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableMultiChannel:$true. This event does not apply to the multichannel settings of SMB client, which are controlled by the Set-SmbClientConfiguration Windows PowerShell cmdlet. Enabling or disabling client multichannel support does not affect server multichannel support.

"DisableMultiChannel"=dword:%2

Guidance:
You can configure SMB Multichannel on the client using the Windows PowerShell cmdlet Set-SmbClientConfiguration. Disabling SMB client multichannel support is not a recommended configuration, as it can lead to degraded performance and decreased reliability if one channel or network path fails.

Guidance:
You should expect this event when disabling SMB2/SMB3 for the client using SC.EXE or editing the Windows registry. Microsoft does not recommend disabling SMB2/SMB3. Disabling SMB2/SMB3 prevents use of features such as SMB Transparent Failover, SMB Scale Out, SMB Multichannel, SMB Direct (RDMA), SMB Encryption, VSS for SMB file shares, and SMB Directory Leasing. SMB provides alternative troubleshooting workarounds to disabling SMB2/SMB3 in most cases.

Info

Message #

Opcode
Info

Message #

The RequireSecureNegotiate setting has been removed.

Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters
Registry Value: RequireSecureNegotiate

Guidance:

You should expect this event when an administrator configures the RequireSecureNegotiate setting. Secure negotiate prevents man-in-the-middle attacks against SMB connection establishment. Previous versions of Windows allowed secure negotiate to be disabled. Disabling secure negotiate is no longer allowed. The client removed the setting from the registry. No user action is required.

Security
Level

Task
LMCompatibilityLevel
Opcode
Info

Message #

The LmCompatibilityLevel value is different from the default.

Configured LM Compatibility Level: %2
Default LM Compatibility Level: 3

Guidance:
LAN Manager (LM) authentication is the protocol used to authenticate Windows clients for network operations. This includes joining a domain, accessing network resources, and authenticating users or computers. This determines which challenge/response authentication protocol is negotiated between the client and the server computers. Specifically, the LM authentication level determines which authentication protocols the client will try to negotiate or the server will accept. The value set for LmCompatibilityLevel determines which challenge/response authentication protocol is used for network logons. This value affects the level of authentication protocol that clients use, the level of session security negotiated, and the level of authentication accepted by servers.

Value (Setting) - Description

0 (Send LM & NTLM responses) - Clients use LM and NTLM authentication and never use NTLMv2 session security. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.

1 (Send LM & NTLM - use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated) - Clients use LM and NTLM authentication, and use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.

2 (Send NTLM response only) - Clients use NTLM authentication only and use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.

3 (Send NTLM v2 response only) - Clients use NTLMv2 authentication only and use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers accept LM, NTLM, and NTLMv2 authentication.

4 (Send NTLMv2 response only/refuse LM) - Clients use NTLMv2 authentication only and use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers refuse LM and accept only NTLM and NTLMv2 authentication.

5 (Send NTLM v2 response only/refuse LM & NTLM) - Clients use NTLMv2 authentication only and use NTLMv2 session security if the server supports it. Domain controllers refuse LM and NTLM and accept only NTLMv2 authentication.

Incompatibly configured  LmCompatibility levels between a client and server (such as 0 on a client and 5 on a server) prevent access to the server. Non-Microsoft clients and servers also provide these configuration settings.

Event ID 31016: The SMB Signing registry value is not configured with default settings.

#
Channel
Security
Task
EnableSecuritySignatureNonDefault
Opcode
Info

Message #

The SMB Signing registry value is not configured with default settings.

Default Registry Value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters]
"EnableSecuritySignature"=dword:1
Configured Registry Value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters]
"EnableSecuritySignature"=dword:0

Guidance:
Even though you can disable, enable, or require SMB Signing, the negotiation rules changed starting with SMB2 and not all combinations operate like SMB1.

The effective behavior for SMB2/SMB3 is:
Client Required and Server Required = Signed
Client Not Required and Server Required = Signed
Server Required and Client Not Required = Signed
Server Not Required and Client Not Required = Not Signed

When requiring SMB Encryption, SMB Signing is not used, regardless of settings. SMB Encryption implicitly provides the same integrity guarantees as SMB Signing.

Message #

Rejected an insecure guest logon.

Guidance:
This event indicates that the server attempted to log the user on as an unauthenticated guest and was denied by the client. Guest logons do not support standard security features such as signing and encryption. As a result, guest logons are vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks that can expose sensitive data on the network. Windows disables insecure guest logons by default. Microsoft does not recommend enabling insecure guest logons.

To establish a connection with a shorter session key, set the following registry DWORD value name with the value as decimal bits:

Important: If you have configured the 'Network security: Configure encryption types allowed for Kerberos' security policy to prevent use of 256-bit keys but also set the MinimumSessionKeyLength greater than 128 bits, the computer will not be able to make SMB connections. Setting MinimumSessionKeyLength higher than 128 bits will also prevent SMB connections using NTLM.
