Use Windows Firewall with Advanced Security to modify the scope of the File and Printer Sharing (SMB-in) rule for the appropriate network profile to allow inbound SMB connections from the appropriate subnets.

    Windows Server 2008 R2 64-bit. Only role installed is File Server -> File Server Resource Manager. Box is member of AD. I have local admin access and can put in a ticket with domain admin if need be.

    I created an SMB share and granted permissions to a domain group. This takes care of account management. However, I would like to limit access to the share to certain subnets. Is there a way to limit the access to an SMB share by IP address range/subnet? If access to individual shares cannot be configured by IP range then what about access to SMB as a whole no matter which share?

    Thanks in advance for any insights you may be able to provide.
