Microsoft hat advocated for disabling SMBv1 for a long time.

I'm not a Windows expert at all - but I've seen what can be achieved 
(from a security point of view) in a network with only Server 2016 and 
Windows 10.

I'm not sure even Linux would be much use in such an environment.

But the SMBv1-less world is here - and vendors of Linux-based appliances 
are scrambling for solutions.

(We opened a ticket with them, too)

Apparently, having SMBv1 enabled violates PCI (DSS) compliance.
