Can I active or enable SMBv1 in Catalina?

The short answer is "yes". Keep in mind this is not a Apple sanction answer...

The simple solution is to force SMB protocol versions by modifying /etc/nsmb.conf file.

Solution:

Open Terminal
Enable Root mode: " type sudo -s" and login
Modify /etc/nsmb.conf via nano
Sample file (the procol_vers_map = 7 forces SMB1, 2, and 3)

[default]

signing_required=no

streams=yes

protocol_vers_map=7

minauth=ntlmv2

Save and exit Terminal...

Good luck!

Big Sur seems to revert to SMB1? Under 11.3 and higher, my MBP has reverted to SMB1, and cannot communicate with a Synology NAS. Two iMacs on same network do not have the same issue. One poster suggested using terminal to restore SMB2 on MBP. Anyone have this issue and how did you fix it/ This was suggestion... Anyone else tried this? I'm a little nervous messing about with terminal and system settings Enter the folowing commands on the terminal window. echo "[default]" | sudo tee -a /etc/nsmb.conf echo "protocol_vers_map=2" | sudo tee -a /etc/nsmb.conf SMB Version 2 will be enabled.
