So you did and I commented on it, sorry its been a bad day.

As I pointed out, you need SMBv1 everywhere for 'net view' and that is 
very insecure and turning it on will only buy you time. Samba is working 
hard on removing SMBv1, so you are postponing the inevitable.

Not that I am aware of, though I think there is a powershell script out 
there for some of it, the bits that don't need SMBv1.
