The Server Message Block (SMB) Version 1.0 Protocol defines extensions to the Common Internet File System (CIFS) Protocol, which is specified in [MS-CIFS]. Unless specifically extended or overridden in this document, all specifications and behaviors that are described for Windows NT operating system clients and servers in [MS-CIFS] apply to the Windows client and server implementations covered in this document. The list of Windows client and server implementations covered in this document is provided in section 6.

Unless otherwise noted, this document only provides the extensions made to the CIFS Protocol relative to the specification in [MS-CIFS]. The extended CIFS Protocol is known as the Server Message Block (SMB) Version 1.0 Protocol. Both this document and [MS-CIFS] are required in order to create a complete implementation of the Server Message Block (SMB) Version 1.0 Protocol.

This document also defines Windows behavior with respect to optional behavior that is described in the specifications of the SMB extensions.

Sections 1.5, 1.8, 1.9, 2, and 3 of this specification are normative. All other sections and examples in this specification are informative.
