Have you tried your suggestions above? Are you sure this will not cause TrueNAS to crash or to become inaccessible? And why would the update solve the network credentials issue? Thanks!
@Avner_Falk we have no visibility of your system how it is configured or what has been done to it in the past. We can only direct you to the documentation linked by other provides you with clear instructions on how to complete the upgrade, as you have been unable to find the docs from the links provided here is the specific link for upgrades
I can tell you a lot of people have successfully upgraded to 13.0-U6.2 without issue, but as I have no idea of the system state, if it has been modified or otherwise I cannot make you any promises. I suggest ensuring you have taken a config backup prior to the upgrade as recommended and ensure your have read the release notes:
Setting up users and groups tutorial:
SMB - Windows shares:
I hope these resources help you.
I am thankful for the community users on here who have already given their time to direct you to the materials which would help you solve your issues.

Can I ask a few dumb questions:
Avner_Falk,
- Have you āupdatedā yet (to CORE 13.3 or to SCALE or anything)?
- Do you actually āNEEDā to update (what is making you think you need to update)?

I guess I should clarify my thought. Unless you have an actual pressing need to update, I say leave it and fix what problems you have. If you cannot fix those problems, then evaluate if an update will fix your problem and go from there. But I would focus on the actual problem first.

The link only appears when you are not in a thread. While in a thread the link at the top of the page isnāt there.
I think you should re-read their posts in a different light, Davvo.

Thanks, ABain and John. I am grateful to you too but danās attack on me was unwarranted. Looks like I have my work cut out for me. It will probably take me about a month to learn all these terms and procedures. Just one question, if you will grant the time: if I disable the Password for a particular TrueNAS User, would that do away with the Windows Security dialog box demanding my network credentials, or could I then just put in the User name without a password and access my TRUENAS folders? Thanks again.
No! Stop! Do not add, just solve.
Have you ārestarted your SMB share SERVICEā yet?

That is not fair. Try to see the conversation from his point of view.

Eh, the link is there though. You just have to scroll up because Discourse hides it, apparently. Besides, I posted them the linkā¦ and, just saying, google (or any search engine) is still a valid option[1].
I do not think this post needs to be read in a different light. And I do not think any of my posts were aggressive or degrading to the user.
on this note itās something I have been noticing a lot these past months, people (beyond this forum as well) being apparently unable to properly use search engines to find the answer they want. Donāt know if itās being lazy, not being tech-savvy enough, or whatever. ā©ļø

Be advised. If this thread does not change directions, I will lock it. Letās have a positive discussion please.

Working on that. Lock and it will just start again but the OP will just be more frustrated.

I have read this entire thread and decided to step in here just to clarify a few things.
We here at the forum do like to help people out (as you can see from the many postings), provided they make an effort to help themselves as well. I fully understand that you do not understand TrueNAS nor computers and networking, however these are fundamental things that a person must know in order to setup and maintain a TrueNAS system.
The fact that someone else set up the TrueNAS system for you leaves you in a bad position, we understand that, however this is a completely volunteer community and we cannot āspoon feedā everyone. I donāt know if you can understand this, it is not to be mean or hateful. We often think someone is just being lazy, and that may not be you, you may just be completely unknowing to networking, NAS, etc. Not knowing what SMB is, is a bad sign to us. TrueNAS is an Enterprise piece of software and requires a certain amount of knowledge to use it.
My suggestion is to locate the person who setup the system for you and have them teach you how to use it because if you have a failure, you will be up a creek without a paddle. We have seen it way too often.
My other suggestion, if you need a NAS, would be a production unit like a Synology. They make very good and reliable systems and even for a fair price for a home unit. Setup and operation are fairly easy.
@exeter_acres said clearly they did not do this to their machine. This is the proper steps to upgrade. lt will not crash TrueNAS (not unless TrueNAS has a corrupt upgrade, which can and has happened in the past). Make sure you backup your config file. If you do not know how to do this, then you need to read the entire User Guide, twice (I recommend this to everyone, not just for you). The first time will introduce you to some terminology, the second time you should be able to make sense on it all, or more of it.
And I completely agree with @John that you should not make any changes unless you have a real problem. Also if Windows is giving you security warnings, do not jump in to doing something that you are not sure would fix it.
I hope you donāt take my comment offensive, and @dan was just a little frustrated as we all can get (me too) when we feel someone is not putting in the effort we think they should be doing. My example is you not locating the User Guide which is at the top of every forum page called āTrueNAS Docsā. Hope you can understand that. We do not intentionally try to be mean to people. If that were the case, a few warnings would be issued and if that fails, then we close their account. Thankfully that is not needed here often.

@Avner_Falk
This is the ONLY direction you should be going in right now:
This is what the āservice screenā looks like:
Services | TrueNAS Documentation Hub
- Find this page.
- Go to page 2.
- Toggle the SMB share (it should be āblueā to start with).
- Toggle it again (it should be blue again).
Does this solve your issue?

One clarification for my postā¦ I have upgraded this way many timesā¦ I just wasnāt doing it this time while I went through the steps to be able to post them hereā¦
I didnāt want to continue This Timeā¦ as I wasnāt in a position to do it now.
But I have done it this way several times and it works perfectly.
Thanks

The short answer is NO. The long answer is NOT AT ALL. But I do appreciate your efforts! I found another āsolutionā here https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=5b125c52761e21d8&q=How+do+I+make+Windows+forget+network+credentials%3F&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiZtZL1pfqHAxXiwQIHHTGEIDAQzmd6BAgZEAY&biw=1536&bih=714&dpr=1.25#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:edad3906,vid:IxQVO52N1IE,st:126 but it did not work either. Thanks to all of you, anyway.
Okay, next objective:
Do you know how to add a user?

PROBLEM SOLVED: Open the TrueNAS web GUI, click Accounts, then Users, then the Expand/Collapse Row button at the far right of the User line that you want to use for your network credentials, click the EDIT (pencil) button, scroll down to the bottom of the page and check the box next to Microsoft Account. Set your password and you are good to go. Thank you all for your wisdom, helpfulness and thoughtfulness.

Awesome! Congratulations.
EDIT:
Also, Iām not sure if Redcoat and ABain is big on ābadgesā but you should probably give their posts a thumbs up

Dr. Falk:
Are there other users besides ārootā listed at Accounts>Users? If so, have you ever used any of them to access data on your server? If so, do you have the passwords associated with them?
Now, I have a side-bar question. Does anyone know where the: āLet me fix that for youā emoji is?
