After upgrading Windows 10 to build 1803 (April 2018 update) or adding a new workstation with this same build, you may encounter one of the error messages below:

  • AE/AO Tax: "Error: SR-DAL Server S6:\\servername\MSSQL\taxdatabasename\TAX\TC is Offline/incorrect name" when opening Tax.
  • BankLink: "The server name or address could not be resolved" when opening BankLink or "Internet name not resolved." when downloading data
  • AO Classic (NZ): "11/Function argument value type, or count is invalid." when logging into AO Classic.
  • Document Manager: "Failed to connect to file store server" when attempting to access files.

Other workstations that have not been upgraded will work without receiving the error.

These steps involve making changes to the registry. Please ensure that someone who is knowledgable in Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, such as your IT provider, performs these steps. All steps are to be performed on the machine(s) used for lodgment, accessing AO Classic and/or BankLink. For more details regarding making changes to the registry refer to KB 35308: Important information regarding making registry edits and file changes.

The attached Server_SMB1disable_SBM2enable.zip file contains a registry key that can be imported on the server sharing the System Release program files (SOL64 or AESQL\TAX or AOSQL\TAX folder), BankLink program files (BK5) or NZ AO Classic program files (MYOBAO).

To run this file, refer to the instructions below. If you wish to make the changes to the Windows registry manually, refer to "To manually configure your SMB1, SMB2 and SMB3 Settings".

  1. Save the zipfile to the serverdesktop and extract.
  2. Double-click the Server_SMB1disable_SBM2enable.reg on the server which shares the System Release, BK5 or MYOBAO folder mentioned above. This will import the registry key for you.
  3. Once this is done, reboot the server for the change to take effect.
  4. Reboot the server for the changes to take effect.
