FINALY!!! The Gods have answered. Been waiting for your update video regarding this. Thank you.

[webersebastian]

I love your videos and our workflow!

Me having a problem/lack of information, you providing a helpful video!

[clomok]

Yes, I love watching videos about using the features of truenas.
They really help to expand knowledge about the many features of truenas

An alternative to re-starting the windows to disconnect server connections is open a cmd box and use 'net use \\(The name of the server) /delete'. The command 'net use' will show which servers are connected. I had a problem with disconnecting to an individual server once so used 'net use \\ * /delete' this disconnect all the severs.

As many others have said, this video enabled me to get my Truenas Scale functioning as I wanted it to. Absolutely perfect directions. Thank you so much.

Without your help I would still stumble around getting a "simple" SMB share up and running. Thank you so much - you really made my day!

[trebekanalbumcover]

Thank you! The restarting of the SAMBA service was key to getting groups working for me.

[Getterac]

This guide fixed a nagging issue I had where new folders created by an app were non-writable over SMB for my user. Thanks, Lawrence! 😀

[jdb]

damn dude you just fixed my home truenas server in a matter of minutes, forever grateful

[Oliver-Arnold]

Great video Tom! One quick way I've found on Windows to stop it holding onto the last user is to simply restart the "Workstation" (LanmanWorkstation) service. This will then prompt again for credentials when connecting to a share (Providing the remember me option wasn't ticked). Has saved a lot of time in the past when troubleshooting permissions with different users.

[ChristopherBletzinger]

Wow THANK YOU so much for this guide!! I've spent the past month or so trying to learn TrueNAS/Linux on my own and getting pretty frustrated in the process.

It was really gratifying to hear you explain the common mistakes/misconceptions (most of which I have made). I was starting to think I was just being lazy not doing the research in forums, so it's nice to hear from someone else that it's not as intuitive in some parts. Thanks again for saving me all that time! Looking forward to the next one!

[iroesstrongarm]

I rarely comment, but this video was fantastic and had just about everything I wanted to know. Thank you.

[coletraintechgames]

THANK YOU. I would love more on all of this. Always struggling with shares and permissions.

Current question is NFS. This video focused on SMB. Shares from Truenas to Proxmox for like Plex or something.

Thanks for all you have done!

[jasonsafir]

Thank you so much for this! This is the best tutorial I've seen so far that explains how ACLs work on TrueNAS!

[SSBelmont]

Can you please update this video for 23.10.2? Options have changed and for the life of my I cannot get SMB shares to work from Windows 11, keep getting "You don't have permissions for this", if I try to create folders from Windows, when the user has Full rights to the share. I can only get this to work if I set the Purpose to "Private SMB and Dataset share.

[LXJ]

Great content, as always. Definitely more TrueNas content would be great 😊

[jansportlampost]

Thank you for this! Amazing tutorial! 🔥

[mittenmotives]

Most helpful video I've watched in regards to Truenas Scale SMB creations and management.

[Tommy]

This could not have come out at a better time. I just moved my NAS to truenas scale and im struggling. Thank you for the help!

[jasonwilliams]

I've been struggling all day with the permissions, thank you for this video!
