Win 7/10, NFS only available in Enterprise
-
Reading/writing for NFS is in Enterprise Edition only for Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Apparently this has always been the case. I had thought it used to be an option to enable it in the Add Windows Features part of Win7 and earlier.
Why would they do that? It is a freaking file sharing protocol.Is there even a reason to use MS for anything other than decades long vendor lock-in at this point?
I cant imagine a new company even considering them for any service. -
@momurda are you sure it's Enterprise only?
But I agree, with the concept of not using Windows.
So many restrictions.
-
Seems it is also available for Win7 Ultimate users as well.
-
That's odd, I've never noticed that restriction before. NFS has always been totally garbage in WIndows.

You can mount NFS shares in any version. NFS server might only be in enterprise. the offical One Click install is only in Enterprise though.

@Jason said in Win 7/10, NFS only available in Enterprise:
You can mount NFS shares in any version. NFS server might only be in enterprise.
That is what I thought, you can mount, but not operate it from the "desktop" versions.

Here's more information on it http://www.citi.umich.edu/projects/nfsv4/windows/readme.html#install
Not sure why you'd do it. NFS is junk on windows. Just use SMB.

From what I see you do need Enterprise or Education version for NFS Client. Since Windows 7 it seems.

Many other links with no real solutions except pay MS more money.If any of you can mount an nfs share to their Pro version without 3rd party software please do so; I would like to see it working.
