Hi all

I've searched high and low, but have been unable to find anything on this. We're looking to block the ability for devices to connect / mount shares using SMB / AFP.

Has anyone done this, has a script or can point me in the right direction?

Cheers!

Not sure if either of those will suit your needs but that's where I would start...

When positing code please use the >_ icon in the toolbar above the text entry field to format it correctly (or just add a line of 3 backticks ``` before and after the code block) VWCredit.com

SMB is a fabric protocol that is used by Software-defined Data Center (SDDC) computing technologies, such as Storage Spaces Direct, Storage Replica. Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) AFP is a network file control protocol system specifically designed for Mac-based platforms.
