Tandberg DataMicrosoft Services for Network File System (MSNFS)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

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.
