Serv er fo
rNFS
With Server for NFS, a computer running the Microsoft Windows S erver 2003 R2 operating system
can act as a Network File System (NFS) server. Users can then share files in a mixed environment of
computers, operating systems, and networks. Users on computers running NFS client software can gain
access t
o directories (called shares) on the NFS server by connecting (mounting) those directories to their
comput
ers. From the viewpoint of the user on a client computer, the mounted files are indistinguishable
from lo
cal fi les.
UNIX computers follow advisory locking for all lock requests. This me a ns that the operating system does
not enforce lock semantics on a file, and applications that check for the existence of locks can use these
locks effectively. However, Server for N FS implements mandator y locks even for those locking requests
that a
re received through NFS. This ensures that locks acquired through NFS are visible through the
serve
r message block (SMB) protocol and to applications accessing the files locally. Mandatory locks
are en
forced by the operating system.
Server for NFS Authentication DL L vs. Service for User for Active Directory domain controllers
On a Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 storage server, Server for NFS dep ends on a domain c ontroller
feature called Ser vice for User (S4U) to authenticate UNIX users as their corresponding Windows users.
Windows Server operating systems prior to Windows Server 2003 and Windows Storage Server 2003
do not support S4U. Also, in mixed domain environments, legacy Services for UNIX (SFU), Ser vices for
NFS and Windows Storage Server 2003 NFS deployments do not use the S4U feature and still depend
on the Server for NFS Authentication DLL being installed on domain controllers.
