Scan to CIFS on Windows 7
23/04/2010
By default, the unit cannot scan to Windows 7.
There are 2 modifications that can be made to Window's security policies that will allow 'scan to CIFS' to work.
Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy.
In this window, go to Local Policies -> Security Options.
The two settings you want to change are:
- Network Security: Do not store LAN Manager hash value on next password change from "Enabled" to "Disabled"
- Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level from "Not Defined" to "Send LM & NTLM responses"
Once you have done this go to Control Panel -> User Accounts -> Change your password. You don't need to change your password so the New password can be the same as the Current Password but you do have to click on the Change password box at the bottom right of the window to make this work.
In the example below; the current password is 'admin' and the new password is 'admin'.
This should now allow you to scan to CIFS.
The screen below shows a sample setup for an MC560 (the principle is the same for other products).
This example has a shared folder on the root of the c:drive called 'Shared'. The User Name and Password are 'admin' & 'admin'.
