Hi Stefan,

I haven't seen a response, so I'm going to consider this issue closed. I'm guessing \
you may be on vacation since it's the holiday season. If that's the case, just send \
me a response to my query below, and we can pick up where we left off.

Hi Stefan,

The Witness protocol is an essential service for highly available shares. Are there \
other uses of the SMB2_SHARE_CAP_SCALEOUT capability that you might expect to see? \
What else do you think it might be used for?

Hi Jeff,

My assumption is that section '3.2.4.27 Application Notifies Offline Status of a \
Server' is only triggered when an witness AsyncNotify reponse comes in.

That would mean SMB2_SHARE_CAP_SCALEOUT would only have any meaning if witness is in \
use and I'm sceptical that this is really the case...

Thanks!
