I was having trouble with my SNAP 1000 allowing me to read, write or delete files. I found this Information at snapappliance.com. Once I made the change below the problem went away...

"A security update ( KB885250) affecting numerous Windows OSes introduced compatibility issues between Windows clients and Snap Servers. This update from Microsoft changes the behavior of how a Windows client responds to previously working SMB (Server Message Block) calls. Affected functions may include copying, renaming, or deleting files."

"It is possible to work around this issue by deselecting the "Enable NT SMBs" on the Snap server. This option is displayed in the web administration tool under Network Settings -> Microsoft Networking -> Advanced. Reboot the server for the change to take effect. Note disabling this option limits the maximum file size allowable for Windows clients to 4GB. "

Apparently the only way to keep SMBs enabled is to back out of the MS security update on the affected PCs, or update to Snap OS 4. I cannot afford OS 4 so I disabled SMBs. Who needs files larger then 4 gigs anyway... (Darn all those 4.6 gig movie iso files!)
