My conclusion so far, Same MacOS 14.1.2, with unraid = SMB private share problem with TrueNas = SMB working fine according to @arostad without any SMB mods according to precedent post with DSM/Synology = SMB working fine according to my actual setup that I’m trying to get on Unraid without any SMB mods with corporate Windows File server = SMB working fine according to my work MacBook Pro on 14.1.2 on a windows domain without any SMB mods So is it an Apple problem or an Unraid problem? Should I go the TrueNas way? What’s your take?

Hi @Russ Uno can you point me in the right direction for SMB mods on Unraid and MacOS?

Hi! I'm new to Unraid (6.12.4) since i've been a DSM/Synology user for many years now. I've created "photos" and "music" shares (secure) on Unraid and I can access both from MacOS Sonoma 14.1.2 with the finder command+K. My Mac user credentials are the same than on Unraid or vice-versa. So no password is needed/asked. I've also made a TimeMachine share (exposed: yes/TimeMachine, private for Unraid user "tmuser"). When trying to connect with command+K and entering smb://tmuser:*@UNRAID-IPADDRESS/TimeMachine the dialog box ask me for a password which seems to fail and the dialog box gets shaky. On the same Mac, I can successfully mount the same TimeMachine share through Windows 11 Parallels VM (with the Unraid tmuser credentials). That's telling that Unraid setup is probably right for a Windows machine. On Unraid SMB settings, SMB is enabled as well as enhanced MacOS interoperability and WSD. All other settings are at No. I've gone through forums, Reddit, YouTube (SpaceInvader One and others) and decided not to modify SMB settings on Unraid according to what seems to be unnecessary on 6.12.4. I need help to get this TimeMachine share working on my Mac.
