MSNFS components
MSNFS comprises the following three main components:
• Username Mapping Server
Username Mapping Server maps user names between Windows and UNIX user accounts. In
a heterogeneous network, users have separate Windows and UNIX security accounts. Users
must provide a different set of credentials to access fi les and other resources, depending on
whether they are stored on a Windows or UNIX fi le server. To address this issue, Username
Mapping Server maps the Windows and UNIX user names so that users can log on with either
their Windows or UNIX credentials and access resources regardless of whether they are stored
on a Windows or UNIX fi le server.
• Server for NFS
Normally, a UNIX computer cannot access
fi les on a Windows-based computer. A computer
running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Server for NFS, however, can act as a fi le server for
both Windows and UNIX computers.
• Client for NFS
Normally, a Windows-based computer cannot access
fi les on a UNIX computer. A computer
running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Client for NFS, however, can access fi les stored on
a UNIX-based NFS server.
The Client for NFS feature of the Microsoft Services for NFS component is not preinstalled on the storage
server although information about this feature appears in the online Help. To enable Client for NFS:
1. Go to Add/Remove Programs .
2. Select Add/Remove Windows Components > Other Network File and Print Services > Microsoft
Services for NFS > Details .
3. Install Client for NFS.
