umount. Removes NFS-mounted drives.

8.5.Test Scenario

This test scenario requires you to deploy Microsoft Services for NFS in a lab environment to assess how this technology would function if deployed in your production environment. The instructions provided in this document will help you:

Set up User Name Mapping to map Windows and UNIX user accounts so that users can log on to either Windows or UNIX domains and access resources in both environments.

Create an NFS shared resource on a computer running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Server for NFS that can be mounted and used by a UNIX computer.

Create an NFS shared resource on a UNIX file server that can be mounted and used by a computer running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Client for NFS.

With the Microsoft Services for NFS snap-in, you can administer each installed component of Microsoft Services for NFS. When you open the snap-in, the components

8.6.Steps for Deploying and Testing Microsoft Services for NFS

This section describes how to set up a basic test environment for Microsoft Services for NFS. It discusses how to install and configure the Microsoft Services for NFS components and how to test the deployment.

8.6.1.Reviewing system requirements for Microsoft Services for NFS

Microsoft Services for NFS can be installed on computers running any edition of Windows Server 2003 R2. The three main components of Microsoft Services for NFS – User Name Mapping, Server for NFS, and Client for NFS – can be installed on the same computer or on separate computers.

IMPORTANT

Before installing Microsoft Services for NFS, you must remove any previously installed NFS components, such as NFS components that were included with Services for UNIX. We recommend that you back up or make a record of your configuration before removing NFS components, so that you can restore the configuration on Microsoft Services for NFS.

You can use Microsoft Services for NFS with UNIX computers which are running NFS client or server software which complies with version 2 or version 3 of the NFS protocol. NFS version 2 is defined in RFC 1094 and NFS version 3 is definied in RFC 1813.
