SMB

There are a couple of reasons you might do this, the first is an exploit.

The second is potential locking and corruption issues with legacy flat-file databases. There is a performance penalty in doing this - but how noticeable is it? What other reasons are there for not disabling SMB2 (assuming the security vulnerability is fixed) ?
