Hello Kristian,
Sorry for my blunt :) A question about this description[1][2]:
'Windows-based clients do *not* selectively sign requests.'
Per my test  looks like Windows-based clients did selectively sign ioctl
FSCTL_QUERY_NETWORK_INTERFACE_INFO requests, my test result seems a bit 
inconsistent with what [MS-SMB2] said, could you help clarify whether this
is my misunderstanding about [MS-SMB2] 6 Appendix <104>.
Thank you :)

<104> Section 3.2.4.1.1: A client can selectively sign requests, 
and the server will sign the corresponding responses. 
Windows-based clients do not selectively sign requests.
