Welcome to the Windows Protocol Test Suites v4.26.8.0 Release
Welcome to the Windows Protocol Test Suites v4.26.8.0 Release!
This release includes FileServer Test Suite v4.26.8.0 and PTMService v1.1.2.
Test Suites Prerequisites

FileServer Test Suite v4.26.8.0
[NEW!] One-Click FileServer Deployment on Azure
Signed, credential-free deployment packages are now available for creating FileServer test
environments directly from the Azure Portal. Select the scenario that matches your environment:
| Scenario | Documentation | Deployment |
|---|---|---|
| Workgroup | Deployment guide | |
| Domain | Deployment guide |
The release includes:
Workgroup-Package.zip— Signed DSC resources and scripts for provisioning a standalone FileServer workgroup test environment.Domain-Package.zip— Signed DSC resources and scripts for provisioning an Active Directory domain-based FileServer test environment.
Cluster deployment continues to use the existing phased deployment workflow.
PTMService v1.1.2
[NEW!] Parallel FileServer Test Execution in PTMService
PTMService now supports optional staged parallel execution for the FileServer test suite when
Common.PTF.LogProfileParserPatch.Enabled is enabled.
Execution is organized into SMB2Model shards, SMB2, AppInstanceId, FSA/FSAModel, and remaining FileServer assemblies,
with up to five execution units running concurrently. Pipe handling, cancellation, result aggregation, and failure
reporting were updated to support concurrent test hosts reliably.
[NEW!] Live Test Case Logs
Test case logs can now be viewed in PTMService while a test run is still in progress.
Logs are correlated with individual test cases and retained until the corresponding result artifacts are available.
The test result UI automatically refreshes the selected test case during active runs.
[NEW!] Live Auto-Detection Logs
Auto-detection logs are now streamed incrementally to a responsive log panel while detection is running.
Each detection run has isolated state, cancellation, and logging. Run identifiers, log offsets, completion indicators,
and stale-response protection prevent output from previous detection runs from appearing in the current run.
Bug Fixes & Reliability
- Fixed warning-level auto-detection messages not being written to detection logs
- Fixed detected multi-value configuration properties not being persisted correctly
- Made completed and failed detection-step logs accessible from the PTMService UI
- Added protection against duplicate auto-detection starts and concurrent result application
- Improved concurrent named-pipe connection handling and shutdown behavior
- Improved cancellation and failure reporting for parallel test execution
- Fixed PTMService React development-server compatibility with newer
webpack-dev-serverversions - Removed obsolete PTM test-logging infrastructure
Security
- Bumped
lodashfrom 4.17.23 to 4.18.1 - Replaced MD5 with SHA-256 for Webpack persistent-cache environment hashing
Build & Infrastructure
- Updated the PTMService frontend build system with explicit Webpack, Jest, TypeScript, and ESLint configuration
- Added unit coverage for parallel execution plans, concurrent pipe connections, cancellation, test-host failures,
configuration parsing, and live test logging

Changes in this Release
Linux RDMA Adapter for MS-SMBD

Includes a native C++ wrapper with C ABI and a managed C# RdmaLinuxAdapter, along with new build infrastructure
(build.sh, CMake) for Linux CI.
SMB2 IsReplayEligible Test Cases
Comprehensive replay eligibility tests verifying that after a successful replay under SMB 3.x, the server clears

LOCK, QUERY_DIRECTORY, QUERY_INFO, and CHANGE_NOTIFY operations.
Additional File System Attributes & Tests
New attribute flags (USN_JOURNAL, OPEN_BY_FILE_ID, TRANSACTIONS, CLEANUP_RESULT_INFO, POSIX_UNLINK_RENAME)
added to MS-FSCC and MS-SMB2 message definitions, with FSA tests validating these attributes are cleared per MS-SMB2
section 3.3.5.20.2.
SMB2 QUERY_DIRECTORY with SMB2_REOPEN Flag
New test for QUERY_DIRECTORY on empty directories with the SMB2_REOPEN flag. Also adds a QueryDirectory overload
that accepts custom search patterns.
[NEW!] Infrastructure-As-Code (IAC) Templates for Test Environment Deployment
Full infrastructure-as-code templates for deploying FileServer test environments on Azure in Domain, Cluster, and
Workgroup topologies. Includes DC/Driver/SUT deployment, cluster node setup, iSCSI targets, DFS/SMB share creation,
test orchestration, and environment validation. These scripts can be found within the repository: TestSuites/FileServer/azure-automation
