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.
