Access Add/Remove Programs. 2. Select Add/Remove Windows Components > Active Directory Services > Details. 3. Install Identity Management for UNIX. MSNFS use scenarios The following use scenarios are supported by MSNFS file services: • Allow UNIX clients to access resources on computers running Windows Server 2003 R2. Your company may have UNIX clients accessing resources, such as files, on UNIX file servers. To take advantage of new Windows Server 2003 features, such as Shadow Copies for Shared Folders, you can move resources from your UNIX servers to computers running Windows Server 2003 R2. You can then set up MSNFS to enable access by UNIX clients that are running NFS software. All of your UNIX clients will be able to access the resources using the NFS protocol with no changes required. • Allow computers running Windows Server 2003 R2 to access resources on UNIX file servers. Your company may have a mixed Windows and UNIX environment with resources, such as files, stored on UNIX file servers. You can use MSNFS to enable computers running Windows Server 2003 R2 to access these resources when the file servers are running NFS software. 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 files and other resources, depending on whether they are stored on a Windows or UNIX file 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 file server. • Server for NFS Normally, a UNIX computer cannot access files on a Windows-based computer. A computer running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Server for NFS, however, can act as a file server for both Windows and UNIX computers. • Client for NFS Normally, a Windows-based computer cannot access files on a UNIX computer. A computer running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Client for NFS, however, can access files 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 system although information about this feature appears in the online help.

MSNFS use scenarios

The following use scenarios are supported by MSNFS file services:

•

Allow UNIX clients to access resources on computers running Windows Server 2003 R2.

Your company may have UNIX clients accessing resources, such as files, on UNIX file servers. To

take advantage of new Windows Server 2003 features, such as Shadow Copies for Shared

Folders, you can move resources from your UNIX servers to computers running Windows Server

2003 R2. You can then set up MSNFS to enable access by UNIX clients that are running NFS

software. All of your UNIX clients will be able to access the resources using the NFS protocol with

no changes required.

•

Allow computers running Windows Server 2003 R2 to access resources on UNIX file servers.

Your company may have a mixed Windows and UNIX environment with resources, such as files,

stored on UNIX file servers. You can use MSNFS to enable computers running Windows Server

2003 R2 to access these resources when the file servers are running NFS software.

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 files and other resources, depending on whether

they are stored on a Windows or UNIX file 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 file server.

•

Server for NFS

Normally, a UNIX computer cannot access files on a Windows-based computer. A computer

running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Server for NFS, however, can act as a file server for both

Windows and UNIX computers.

•

Client for NFS

Normally, a Windows-based computer cannot access files on a UNIX computer. A computer

running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Client for NFS, however, can access files 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 system although information about this feature appears in the online help. To enable Client

for NFS:
