8.6.3.Create test user accounts

For the purposes of this test, you can create several fictitious users. For each user, you can create one Windows security account and one UNIX security account, giving the two accounts different user names. You can later use these accounts to test the advanced mapping feature of Microsoft Services for NFS. Advanced mapping allows you to map a given user's credentials between Windows and UNIX, even when the user name is different.

Notes

The alternative to advanced mapping is simple mapping. You can use simple mapping when Windows and UNIX user names for each user are the same. For more information about simple maps, see User Name Mapping Administration in Network File System help.

You can create the Windows user accounts on the Windows Server 2003 R2 domain controller. Or if you prefer, you can create local user accounts on each Windows-based computer in the deployment. For instructions on configuring user accounts, see your Windows Server 2003 R2 documentation.

You can create the UNIX user accounts either on the NIS server or in UNIX /etc/passwd and /etc/group files. For instructions on creating NIS user accounts, see the documentation for your NIS server. For instructions on creating /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, see the documentation for your UNIX operating system.

8.6.4.Installing Microsoft Services for NFS

You need to install Microsoft Services for NFS components on a computer running Windows Server 2003 R2. These instructions assume that you are installing all of the components on a single computer.

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 your settings on Microsoft Services for NFS.
