To connect NFS shares on Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2, administrators can install "Client for NFS" on these operating systems and then perform "mount" command to connect it. After that, administrators also can install "Services for Network File System" to manage "Client Settings", "File Permissions" and "Security" of "Client for NFS".
Goal
- Install "Client for NFS" by GUI and "PowerShell"
- Install "Services for Network File System" by GUI and "PowerShell"
Prerequisites
- 1 server is installed Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2 and named MS01
Lab
1. On MS01, log in as Local Administrator.
2. Launch "Server Manager".
3. Click "Add roles and features".
4. On "Before You Begin" window, click "Next".
5. On "Installation Type" window, select "Role-based or feature-based installation".
6. Click "Next".
7. On "Server Selection" window, click "Next" twice.
8. On "Features" window, check "Client for NFS".
By default, the "Services for Network File System" management console isn't installed with "Client for NFS". Administrators need to check it by themselves.
9. Check "Services for Network File System Management Tools" under "Remote Server Administration Tools > Role Administration Tools > File Services Tools".
10. Click "Next".
11. On "Confirmation" window, click "Install".
12. On "Results" window, click "Close".
As a result, "Client for Network File System" and "Client for NFS" have been installed.
Now, administrators can manage the settings of "Client of NFS".
Administrators can perform "mount" command to connect the NFS share.
Administrators also can perform "Install-WindowsFeature NFS-Client, RSAT-NFS-Admin" in PowerShell console to install "Client for NFS" and "Client for Network File System".
