Issues connecting external storage to SMB share on MacOS 10.6.8 Server

MY ISSUE:

External storage connects to any and all windows shares on the network no problem, BUT… When I attempt to add a share served from a MacOS Server 10.6.8 I get the “red box of death” next to the external storages entry. I’ve tried multiple combinations of host the host name (host name, IP, and FQDM) as well as “Domain” and “Username” combinations. Nothing works. We use DFS to access these MacServer shares all day / every day without issue on windows machines.

I CAN ping the ip, host & FQDM from terminal. I CAN connect to the share with “smbclient //x.x.x.x/sharename” from NC terminal and browse contents

This is a fresh install of the NextCloud VM appliance. I’m a linux newbie but can find my way around.

I believe the error point is shown in the Nextcloud log report at the bottom of this post.

Any help here will be much appreciated.

Steps to reproduce

Enter Server, share & credentials in External Storages and click “check mark”

Expected behaviour

External Storage shows green

Actual behaviour

External Storage shows red
