Different SMB versions appeared in the following Windows versions:

  • CIFS – Windows NT 4.0
  • SMB 1.0 – Windows 2000
  • SMB 2.0 – Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1
  • SMB 2.1 – Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7
  • SMB 3.0 – Windows Server 2012 and Windows 8
  • SMB 3.02 – Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows 8.1

In the network interaction over SMB, a client and a server use the maximum version of the SMB protocol supported both by the client and the server.

The summary table of SMB version compatibility on the side of a client and a server looks like this:
