I have upgraded from XP to Windows 7 Professional. I used Windows Services for Unix in XP but have been informed this is not available for Windows 7. I do not see a NFS Client in the Windows 7 Professional version. What options are there?

2012-04-23T06:28:02+00:00 So sorry! For some reason I saw "Windows 7 Professional" and read "Windows 7 Enterprise"! DOH!
I believe the NFS client is only available in the Enterprise and Ultimate (what I have) versions. Yes, yes, this is ridiculous! To not include it in the Professional version is inexcusable! (But for the fact that it's purely a marketing decision to get people to buy the more expensive version, knowing that Professional users are far more likely to need an NFS client!)
Just to be absolutely sure, run the following from the command line:
dism /online /get-features /format:table
Are there any NFS features listed? What about SUA? (It's listed simply as "SUA".)
If they aren't listed,. then, no, they're not available! The only way to get them would be to upgrade to one of the above versions.
Sorry for the confusion.
You might look into installing Samba on your UNIX systems, so that your Windows systems can connect to your UNIX shares using SMB instead of NFS. Not the answer you're looking for, but it's a solid, robust, and free solution.
Good luck!
