Notes
By default, Server for NFS supports UNIX client computers using NFS version 2 or
version 3. You can override this, however, and configure Server for NFS to allow
access only to clients running NFS version 2. For instructions, see "Configuring
Server for NFS" in the Microsoft Services for NFS Help. Client for NFS supports
both versions, and this is not configurable.
8.6.2. Setting up the environment for Microsoft Services
for NFS
The next step is to set up the environment for Microsoft Services for NFS by
deploying computers and creating user accounts for testing.
8.6.2.1. Deploy computers
You need to deploy the following computers and connect them on a local
area network (LAN):
• One or more computers running Windows Server 2003 R2 on which
you will install the three main Microsoft Services for NFS
components: User Name Mapping Server, Server for NFS, and
Client for NFS. You can install the components on the same
computer or on different computers. Installation instructions for
installing all Microsoft Services for NFS components are provided
later in this document.
• One or more UNIX computers running NFS client and NFS server
software. The computer running the NFS client will access a
Windows NFS shared resource provided by Server for NFS. The
computer running NFS server will host a UNIX NFS shared
resource, which will be accessed by a computer running
Windows Server 2003 R2 and Client for NFS. You can install the
NFS client and NFS server software on the same computer or on
different computers.
• A Windows Server 2003 domain controller running at the Windows
Server 2003 functional level. The domain controller will provide user
authentication information for the Windows environment. Or, if you
prefer, you can use local user accounts.
• A Network Information Service (NIS) server to provide user
authentication information for the UNIX environment. Or, if you
prefer, you can use Password and Group files that are stored on the
computer running the User Name Mapping service.
The following diagram illustrates a simple test configuration for Microsoft
Services for NFS. It includes a single Windows Server 2003 domain
controller and a single NIS server. All Microsoft Services for NFS
components are installed on a single computer running
Windows Server 2003 R2, and NFS client and NFS server software is
installed on a single UNIX computer.
