No, not yet, afer the customized firmware was loaded we went again and connected the device to Firmware utility and updated it with the latest avaliable on their website and guess what the latest firmware did? It closed the SMB V2/3. Luckily for us, we realized that the changeover will do more harm than good and downgraded it to customized firmware again to make SMB V2/V3 work.
I have mixed feelings about this now, as I can imagine the challenge it can pose if, it were to happen to large number of machines in the field that too being upgraded by customer itself.
