When connecting from Windows, I am prompted for the Nucleus username and password.
Based on this article (https://help.roonlabs.com/portal/en/kb/articles/nucleus-internal-storage#SMB_Connection_Alternate_Option) I tried ‘Guest’
It does not accept guest, Guest, admin, password, etc
My work Admin denies non-password connection on this Windows host
Thank you for any suggestion
Not sure if the situation has changed recently but I did find this thread which is probably not what you wanted to read…
Set user name & password on Nuceus? - Support / Nucleus Support - Roon Labs Community
this is a bummer 
And username guest with password guest does not work either?
No, unfortunately
I seem to remember something where Microsoft disabled SMB1 guest mode on windows 10 pro. I got caught with it a couple of years ago when I got a new Dell mini PC and it took me some time to work out the issue.
There was a way to enable it from the control panel and optional components
Interesting!
Found this article Guest access in SMB2 and SMB3 is disabled - Windows Server | Microsoft Docs
They recommend to change from 0 to 1
Default registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters] "AllowInsecureGuestAuth"=dword:0
Configured registry value:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkstation\Parameters] "AllowInsecureGuestAuth"=dword:1
Will try when I reach home
Hopefully it is similar if not exactly the same.
Though as that is Workstation key it could well be the same as it’s related to outbound connections and not inbound.
this trick works - I can now access my Nucleus hard disk
