Windows can't access TrueNas Share SMB

Hi all.
I just Updated to TrueNAS-13.0-U6.2 from an old 11.3-U5 version.
Previously everything worked just fine. Now I can get to the GUI just fine, but I can’t get into the shared SMB, not on Win 10 and not on Win 11.
If I try using a network drive I get this message:

Z 2

If I try via a Network Location, it prompts me for credentials, automatically filling in the user as “root”. I type in the password to no avail. I get this:

Network location 1

Tried without a password too, same thing.
Also tried with another user named eli_singer to no avail.

Under SMB the name of the Samba is WinShare, the Path is: /mnt/FreeNAS_Data_1
ACL is enabled, Browsable to Network Clients is enabled, Enable Alternate Data Streams is enabled (tried disabling it too). Everything else is un-checked.

ACL SID is S-1-1-0.

I’ve got one group configured and it is called WinShare. It has Samba Authentication enabled.
There’s only one member to the group, named: eli_singer.
that user has the following settings:

Home directory:
/mnt/FreeNAS_Data_1

Password Disabled:
false

Lock User:
false

Permit Sudo:
false

Microsoft Account:
false

Samba Authentication:
true

this user doesn’t seem to have password configured, but under Autontication, Disable Password is set to No.
Samba Authentication is enabled. Microsoft Account is disabled, though I tried enabling it to no avail. Also tried setting a password to no avail.
For some reason, every time I try to change a setting there, I get:

The specified path is a ZFS pool mountpoint “(/mnt/FreeNAS_Data_1)”

What’s that about?

Under users I have root, and eli_singer.
Root has:

GID:
0

Home directory:
/root

Shell:
/bin/csh

Password Disabled:
true

Lock User:
false

Permit Sudo:
false

Microsoft Account:
false

Samba Authentication:
false

root user is assigned to Auxiliary Group and has Microsoft Account disabled and
Samba Authentication disabled. I tried turning them on and adding a password but I get under Samba Authentication this:

This attribute cannot be changed

I also Tried changing System Dataset to freenas-boot (it was at FreeNAS_Data_1) to no avail. BTW, is there a recommended path for the System Dataset?

I’m kinda scratching my head here as to what changed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

On TrueNAS, what account is listed as the OWNER of the share?
root isn’t allows to share SMB / Samba.

Storage, Pools, Edit ACL is the menu.

Take a look at Accounts, Users and make sure it lists Samba Authentication: True for eli_singer

You may need to change the owner to eli_singer, recursively. Then try stopping and restarting SMB under services.

Where can I see the owner of the share?

here’s the ACL share window:

I don’t see an Edit ACL in the Pools menu:

eli_singer has Samba Authentication: True

How do I change the owner to eli_singer?

Ok I solved it.

So I’ve added eli_singer to the Samba with a path ending with eli_singer since it didn’t let me do it one level up.

this is the ACL screens:

I’ve then sucsesfuly added a new Network Location and a Network drive but with the ful path \192.168.9.20\FreeNAS_Data_1\eli_singer.

The previous path was \192.168.9.20\Winshare.
It seems that TrueNAS changed the name of the mount.

Once that worked I revised the FreeNAS_Data_1 I added to reflect the root directory and not to eli_singer directory and remapped in Windows the Network drive to point there.

Thank you for you SmallBarky for your help, it pointed me to the right direction.
