I am glad to see that encryption finally works between SAMBA file server on a Linux machine and Windows client.
It did not work with Windows 7 clients. It definitely works with Windows 10 clients. Here is the proof:

An image from 'SAMBA traffic encryption works'. Wireshark capture showing encrypted SMB3 traffic between 192.168.0.101 and 192.168.0.102.


In case you don't know, SAMBA can also be used as Active Directory Domain Controller. Read here Setting up Samba as an Active Directory Domain Controller - SambaWiki

and here Create an Active Directory Infrastructure with Samba4 on Ubuntu - Part 1

I have heard about it but as I don't have Windows 8 it hasn't been possible for me to try it.
Anyway, Windows 10 will normally last longer than 8.
