Did you find any other solution that reverting to NT1?
We did a lot of testing on this bug and we got some comclusion :
Windows 10 do the problem only if not binded to a domain (And it's not a
GPO that solve the answer)
It's a System process that try to access the share. The user is blank if
not binded to a domain and the bug happen. If binded the user is the
computer name and the connection is simply refused and no nobody in smb
status.
The only way we find to solve this problem was to use the now deprecated
smb.con option : auth methods = sam_ignoredomain.
Since guest auth isn't use with this option, the connection are simply
rejected.
Do someone has a solution to this problem that doesn't need a source code
modification. In 4.8 the auth methods isn't supported anymore and NT1 is
not an option for us to solve this.
Thank you
