Hey, All. Hope everyone has had a good day. Question. Has anybody had troubles with this? I am attempting this again with another client. Tha first time was a no go at the last account. They eneded up calling an IT guy and I still don't know if their issue has been resolved.The machine is old, c4501, but it scanned fine to win 10. I must be missing something on the setup.I have done a lot of these scan to folder setups that work fine, that is why Im looking at new OS issues.

The MP C4501 doesn't support SMB v2/3 this is most likely your issue as Win 11 blocks SMB v1.0.Let us eat, drink, and be merry, because tomorrow we may die!

Re: Scanning issues with windows 11
McAfee pops up an alert box the first time it detects a new type activity. If the user has been trained to click Block without first reading what the activity is you then have to log in as the administrator and remove the block. I have even had it block all IP printing this way. It will also automatically block if Allow is not clicked within a fix time, often before the person doing the scan gets back to their computer.Comment

Re: Scanning issues with windows 11
Since the original problem was solved, I'll post this here. I set up SMB scan today on a Kyocera. There was no domain. No server. Only an ISP router.
Anyway, I set up the first PC and it worked fine. The second PC tested "ok" from the web interface. When I scanned a page to the 2nd PC, I got no error and it appeared to go thru. When I checked the scan folder nothing was there.
This has never happened to me before. Ever.
The solution I came up with was to delete the shared folder that I named "Scan" and create another folder named "Scan22". This time it worked fine.
Weird problem.Adversity temporarily visits a strong man but stays with the weak for a lifetime.Comment

Re: Scanning issues with windows 11
Not only does Mcaffee block the scanner, it happens with most antivirus or internet security. When this problem happens to me and I am not able to find in the software where it is unlocked, I usually pass the problem on to the client's computer since it is not a problem with the machine.Comment

Re: Scanning issues with windows 11
more rarely the sharing of the folder can be ruined, just remove it and recreate it, or move the contents to a temporary folder, delete the old folder, and recreate it with the relative permissions"loneliness is an invention of the white man, when we are alone we talk to everything around us, we are never alone" (Ojibwa)Comment

Re: Scanning issues with windows 11
McAfee blocks the port not the folder. As such any scan using the SMB over NETbios port 139 will be blockedComment
