Accessing NFS resources for Windows users and groups
Server for NFS allows Windows clients to access NFS resources on the storage server without separately
logging on to Server for N FS. The firsttimeusersattempttoaccessanNFSresource,theServerforNFS
looks up the user’s UN IX UID and GI D information in either Windows Active Directory or the User
Name Mapping function on the storage server. If the UNIX UID and GID information is mapped to a
Windows user and group accounts, the Windows names are returned to Server for N FS, which then uses
the Windows user and group names to g rant file access. If the UNIX UID and GID information is not
mapped, then Server for NFS will deny file access.
There are two ways to specify how Server for NFS on the storage server obtains Windows user and
group information:
• Using the Windows interface
• Using a command line (nfsadmin.exe)
