How do you check what version of Server Message Block client a workstation is using on Windows?
If you have Windows 8.1 or 2012, you can use the PowerShell cmdlet Get-SmbConnection
for that.
To interpret the answer (copied and pasted from here):
- SMB 1 - Windows 2000
- SMB 2 - Windows Server 2008 and WIndows Vista SP1
- SMB 2.1 - Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7
- SMB 3.0 - Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8
Sample output:
ServerName ShareName UserName Credential Dialect NumOpens
---------- --------- -------- ---------- ------- --------
SERVER2 f$ DOMAIN\USER otherdomain\otheruser... 2.02 1
SERVER1 backups DOMAIN\USER DOMAIN.LOCAL\USER 3.02 2
SERVER3 users DOMAIN\USER DOMAIN.LOCAL\USER 2.02 1
If you don't, perhaps this related question will help:

You can check the status of the SMB 1/2 services, as seen here:
sc query mrxsmb10
sc query mrxsmb20
In PowerShell, you will need to use sc.exe
instead of sc
