Need to change local security policy on Win7 starter
How can I change "Send NTLMv2 Response only" to "Send LM & NTLM -- Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated" on my windows 7 starter to be able to access my network drive?
I been made to understand that this can be accomplished through secpol.msc, but it does not exist on my win7 starter machine.
Here's what my network drive's tech support told me:
"
Windows networking fails to connect to the Network Space 2 due to the version of samba on drive. Windows 7 defaults to using NTLMv2 for its security policy. The drive uses Samba v.3.0.9, which only supports NTLM.
To fix this, the LAN Authentication level must be reconfigured using the "secpol" program to log in.
Click Start, then Run (or press [windows button] + [R] on the keyboard), then type "secpol.msc" This should bring up the Security Policy system window.
On the left, select Local Policies > Security Options.
On the right, scroll down to and double-click on "Network Security: LAN Manager"
Change the setting from "Send NTLMv2 Response only" to "Send LM & NTLM -- Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated"
"
how can I accomplish this?
