How can we improve Azure Virtual Machines?

← Virtual Machines

Offer SMB 3.0 support for Windows 7 machines.

We need an update to enable SMB 3.0 support for Windows 7 machines. Older projects using NET USE scripts to attach to Azure storage can no longer access their containers.
Windows 7 machines that use to access the file shares in a storage account can no longer connect to file shares using the NET USE command. As a long time user of Azure it feels like Microsoft has left us behind. Upgrading all our users to win 10 is not an easy task..

        Agreed. You must have the code, the file system should be pluggable. Isn't encryption the main issue? It feels like some sort of intractable decision to make those of us with large installations of Win 7 go through some upgrade.

        this is crazy that it doesn't work with windows 7. We love the VM concept but no remote mapping on Window 7 is a major problem for us!
