Tandberg Viking Series Storage Server Administration Manual

To install Microsoft Services for NFS:

1. On the computer on which you want to install Microsoft Services for

NFS, install Windows Server 2003 R2.

2. In Control Panel, double-click Add or Remove Programs.

3. Click Add/Remove Windows Components, click Other Network

File and Print Services, and then click Details.

4. Click Microsoft Services for NFS, and then click Details.

5. Select User Name Mapping, Server for NFS, or Client for NFS,

and then click OK.

Notes

When you select User Name Mapping, Server for NFS, or Client for NFS, the
Windows Component Wizard will also select the appropriate combination of
supporting subcomponents.

To perform this procedure, you must be a member of the Administrators group on
the local computer, or you must have been delegated the appropriate authority. If
the computer is joined to a domain, members of the Domain Admins group might be
able to perform this procedure. As a security best practice, consider using Run as to
perform this procedure.

8.6.5. Configuring NFS authentication

The required configuration for this test uses a Windows Server 2003 domain
controller or later running at the Windows Server 2003 functional level. For
security reasons, we recommend installing Windows Server 2003 Service
Pack 1 (SP1) and all the latest security updates.

8.6.6. Configuring User Name Mapping

The next step is to configure User Name Mapping and set up mapping
between the Windows and UNIX user accounts that you created earlier. For
the purposes of this test, we will configure advanced mapping. You must use
advanced mapping when each user's account name in Windows is different
than his or her account name in UNIX. You may use simple mapping when
each user’s account name in Windows is the same as his or her account
name in UNIX.

8.6.6.1.

Specify where UNIX user and group information is stored


You need to specify where UNIX user and group information is stored, either
on a NIS server or in /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. If it is stored in
password and group files, you must copy the files to the computer running
User Name Mapping. For security reasons, you should only allow
administrators access to the files. You must also specify the location of the
files, so that User Name Mapping can access them.
