Other network file and print services
The following network file and print services are included and supported on the storage server:
• Microsoft Services for Network File System (MSNFS)
• File and Print Services for NetWare (FPNW)
• AppleTalk Protocol (AFP) and File Services for Macintosh

Microsoft Services for Network File System

Microsoft Services for NFS and Windows Services for UNIX are comprehensive software packages
designed to provide complete UNIX environment integration into a Windows NT, Windows 2000,
Windows Storage Server 2003, or Active Directory domain file server. Services for NFS manages tasks
on both Windows and UNIX platforms.
NOTE:
Microsoft Services for NFS is preinstalled on the storage server.

File services for MSNFS

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.
NOTE:
Services for NFS/UNIX can be implemented in both clustered and non-clustered environments using
select storage servers. This chapter discusses Services for NFS/UNIX in a non-clustered deployment.
If your storage server is capable of using clusters, see the Cluster administration chapter for more
information. (This chapter is not in manuals for those models that cannot use clusters.)

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
