[dba-Tech] Windows June 2011 Update: Breaks network share?

Hi John and Tina et al

This seems to be have been tracked down to the KB2536276 update. It breaks unencrypted Samba from at least Windows XP. 

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_xp-windows_update/why-is-update-kb2536276-causing-a-block-in/4b3536b7-b6b4-43fc-a973-c75ea478c7ca?tm=1308409382437&page=1

Don't know how that explains issues in network without Samba.

Hi Gustav,
No I haven't (yet). But thanks for the heads up! I'll post back if any of my client's PCs in a similar situation have problems.

Regards,
John B

Hi all

Suddenly a WinXP client machine couldn't see a NAS shared by workgroup it
has been accessing for years. Other machines - Win7, Win2003, and WinXP -
could still see the NAS.

I investigated "everything" without finding a clue. Finally I did a system
restore to Jun. 14th morning ... and voilá, the network drive was back!

Anyone else have seen this? I've searched on Google hi-and-lo without
finding anything at all which I find a bit strange.
