Just a helpful post more than a question.
For those that are still experiencing issues with scanning to Windows 8.1 and Server 2012 via SMB, Microsoft released a patch which allows machines to communicate with a depreciated version of Server Message Block (SMB) v1. This update has been available since November last year, but as we all know, servers don't always get updated correctly.
Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 update rollup: November 2013
Hopefully this should help a few people who are still trying to chase down SMB v3 compatibility through Firmware Upgrades.
