Hi,
I´m having a problem with NFS Services in Windows 2008. My customer environment is composed by a Win 2008 Domain Controller SP2 (running Microsoft Identity Management for Windows - NIS Server), a Win 2008 Storage Server SP2 File Server running NFS Server (DELL NX3000 and a Win 2003 Domain Controller) . I have properly configured User Mapping under Windows 2008 and I´m able to see that NIS service is working (using ypcat in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 workstation). But when I try to access some folder using a non-user root, i got a "permission denied error". I can mount with a no-root user, but I can´t access the folder even with permissions properly setup. Anonymous access works fine.
I have tried to demote the Windows 2003 server, reinstalled NFS Services in the File Server and the "NIS" in the domain controller but it not works. I have setup a similar test environment - the difference is that i´m using Windows 2008 Standard SP2 as the file server since I don´t have a NAS Appliance to test - and everything is working fine, so I believe i´ve done the right configurations, but in production, it not works. Can someone help me ? Is there some known issue the Windows 2008 Storage Server ? Or is there some way to install the Win 2008 Storage Server in a virtual machine to put in my test environment, to do more research in this case ?
