Hi Jeff,

My assumption is that section '3.2.4.27 Application Notifies Offline Status of a Server' is only
triggered when an witness AsyncNotify reponse comes in.

That would mean SMB2_SHARE_CAP_SCALEOUT would only have any meaning if witness is in use
and I'm sceptical that this is really the case...

Thanks!
