If you are running Windows 11 24H2 or newer see https://forums.unraid.net/topic/177975-formatted-my-pc-and-installed-fresh-windows-11-now-cant-access-smb-shares/?do=findComment&comment=1478526

hi i am i bit lost but do i add a user account for each of my computer to my unraid server i have added credentials to this PC and i get what is in image sorry i am a bit lost thanks

i might be being think but i can not work this out

root is to access the GUI only, you must use one of the other users for SMB shares

hi either i am missing somthing or just think

Weren't you able to access the server in the screenshot before that?

No I added user name to server and I added the same user and password to windows credentials

Wasn't this when connecting to the server?

Look at this thread starting here:

https://forums.unraid.net/topic/191221-some-musings-on-smb-and-samba-and-unraid-and-windows/#findComment-1561581

And read the next two posts after that. If you have Windows Credentials already set up for this server, I would suggest deleting them and starting over.

The user root is not allowed as a SMB user!!! See the outpout from a SMB command that shows some of the SMB parameters that are used by Unraid:

Evening people so i am still having problems on the same as the start of this topic dont know if me or what please help

I see you are using the user name of 'sparky'

This means that you need to add on Unraid a Shares Access user with a 'User name' of– sparky –with the same password as on your Windows computer. (Note the the capitalization must match on both sides for both the User name and the password!) Entry Box on Unraid shown below:

Then reboot both the Windows computer and your server. (Note that you can not see/view the password that you enter in the Windows Credential Manager so make double sure that you type very carefully when you enter it as Windows does not even require that you reenter to verify no typos were made.!!!) Personally, I recommend that you write the password on paper until everything is setup and working. Make your password only as long and complex as required by your tolerance level of how much risk to your data is permissible. Burn the paper if you want after everything is working. (MS only insists that you have to use a login to a server before it will allow a connection to that server. It does not say that the login credentials have to be super secure.)

EDIT: Don't use a null password. IF nothing else, use 1234 as the password!
