Can’t access Windows 2012 R2 server shared folders

Situation: The client has a Windows 2012 R2 server and shared some folders. However, no one can access it with System error 53.

Troubleshooting: If we disable the Windows firewall, we can access the server. After test, we find the client has blocked TCP port 445 and DFS Management (SMB-In). we fix it by disabling these rules.
