Is here anyway to get smartmontools to work on Windows 2012 R2 with nvme drive? This is what I'm seeing on the system.

Hi;

Running smartmontools 6.6 r4594 under Windows 10, I receive the following error when I try to access my Samsung 960 Pro 512 GB NVMe drive:

smartctl -a /dev/sdf

Read NVMe Identify Controller failed: IOCTL_STORAGE_QUERY_PROPERTY(NVMe) failed, Error=1117

I was under the impression from the 6.6 release notes that the built-in Windows NVMe 10 driver (stornvme.sys) would work.

Am I missing something? Do I need to add an additional driver or use a different command line option?

Getting SMART from the other (SATA attached) drives seems to work o.k.

Thanks.

Windows Vista features UAC - user access control

By default application are denied grants, needed to access raw hardware, including reading SMART, more so for running SMART tests

The shell exension needs to take this into account and run them in "elevated" mode

Maybe tools like might be used ​http://www.ntwind.com/software/utilities/hstart.html
