Here is a batch file I use for my customers. It works about 95% of the time on windows 7 through the latest Windows 10 home and professional. Just unzip it, right click and "Run as Administrator" even though the batch file is setup to automatically elevate to administrator privileges. The following is what it will do:
Creates the user "Scans" with the password of "Scanner1"
Creates the Scan folder
Shares the Scan folder to user Scans
Creates a desktop short cut for the Scans folder
In most case it sets the NTLM permissions
Opens the windows firewall for SMB scanning
Enables various services that SMB does require
Copies the "Hostname" of the computer to the clipboard (Then just paste into the web page)
This was created to run basic windows command lines. So all that is needed to customize is to right click and choose "Open with Notepad". I have most of the lines labeled to what they do. If this file does not work for you then it is usually a permissions. Sometimes after running this useing the Domain administrator account or a Domain user instead of the "Scans" user will allow scanning to work.
Use at your own descretion, I take no responsibility of a crashed system.
