I am getting the following error when using Nautilis / Nemo on Gnome 
desktop, ubuntu 22.04 and connection to just smb://filesvr

    gvfsd[8049]: smbXcli_negprot_smb1_done: No compatible protocol
    selected by server.
    failed to retrieve share list from server: connection refused


the orginal domain was created years ago (on Windows server) and was 
named <company>.local  This was kept during all migrations since.  The 
ADDC is now running on ubuntu 22.04 samba 4.15.9

gnome is desired because we will //probably// start using adsys to add 
ubuntu GPOs  (/*unless someone here yells at me for even thinking it*/)

What are my options?
1) use smb://filesvr/<sharname> to connect, requires that the share name 
be known
*2) use mount.cifs - not super user friendly for windows users using 
xRDP server.  currently I have done mount.cifs and I create directory 
~/filesvr and place sym links to the shares.  This works great for a 
small server with few shares, but is quickly un-scaleable
3) use kde - dolphin works, but their config files are harder to manage 
using logon scripts / GPO, so not likely
4) lower min version to SMB1 - not likely to happen!
Others: Are there other options that I am missing?

Avahi:  I read the wiki about not naming .local  Just curious how will 
conflicts with avahi show up?  I'm pretty sure avahi is not installed:
ADDC:

    root at nc1:/etc/bind# apt search avahi | grep -i install
    t3/jammy,now 0.8-5ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic]
    libavahi-common-data/jammy,now 0.8-5ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic]
    libavahi-common3/jammy,now 0.8-5ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic]


File Server:

    SDCP\peter at filesvr:~$ apt search avahi | grep -i install
    ent3/jammy,now 0.8-5ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic]
    libavahi-common-data/jammy,now 0.8-5ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic]
    libavahi-common3/jammy,now 0.8-5ubuntu5 amd64 [installed,automatic]

PS: I can list the shares with smbclient
SDCP\peter at xrdp:~$ smbclient -L //filesvr
