@L and @Daniel. We are actually working on a blog post to cover your questions. I think they will be very helpful and probably would benefit more of the community by posting it up as a blog. When we publish, we will post a link here so that you can find it. Probably will post it to blogs.technet.com/.../filecab

Thanks for the great questions!

Hello: What about SMB 2.2 encryption? Is this compatible with or depend on EFS? What are the details of how the key is generated and exchanged over the network? Thanks!

Thanks for the question(s). It is kind of a few questions in one. Let me check with the team and see what the best way to reply to you is. I maybe feel like a blog post from Jose Barreto might be in order on this one.

Will it be possible to disable SMB1 and force Windows to use only SMB2 (or whatever you call the Windows 8 version)? This would eliminate one possible cause of performance problems and one possible cause of security vulnerabilities.
