Summary

According to the documentation of the Set-SmbServerConfiguration cmdlet it looks to me like it easily possible to enforce the usage of SMBv3, by just running

Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB1Protocol $false
Set-SmbServerConfiguration -EnableSMB2Protocol $false

or according to #1553 setting the registry keys SMB1 and SMB2 under HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters to 0.

Yet, when this is done SMB is completely disabled. So after some testing it only works when enabling the SMB2. That to me however, indicates that it is not possible to enforce usage of SMB3.
Is that true? And if that's they case, I would of course be interested why it is like that as well as suggest to clearly indicate in the documentation. Further, it would be of interested if there is any way/possibility to enfore the usage of the latest SMB version?

Thank's a lot in advance!
