Keep in mind that recent/upcoming updates to Windows 10 are removing support for CIFS / SMB v1 protocol. So the CIFS feature of Alfresco will not be usable anymore. Alfresco will also deprecate/remove this feature in one of the upcoming versions. There is no point in trying to get started with CIFS at this time - try to work with WebDAV / AOS to provide mapped network drive functionality instead.

Hi Axel Faust,
thank you very much for the answer. i will use Webdav until new features for windows 10 arrive. You have solved my problem.
At least until today (win 10 build 1803) SMBv1 is just not installed by default and can be enabled again in "Programs & Features/Windows Featrues": SMB 1.0/CIFS File Sharing Support.
PowerShell: Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName smb1protocol
We don't see much progress in making aos/webdav scenario more mature. If you can live with the restrictions (path length, protocol dies on special characters in windows) webdav is fine but there are many organisations still requesting CIFS for that reason.
Other platforms made similar experience - e.g. ownCloud now implements it's own virtual filesystem on client site acting as a proxy drive supporting online, offline, sync and updates which then behaves like a local OS drive (Winodws, Mac, Linux).
