NFS client for Windows 7

Anonymous

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?

Nope - this is wrong - it is only available as a non-installed component on Enterprise versions of Windows 7. As you can see from this screenshot is NOT available on Professional:

Please stop posting this incorrect information - Thank you.

Hello all,

Thank you for posting to the Microsoft Answers Forum.

Click here for the link to download installing Utilities and SDK for Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2

This should be the link you were looking for.

Thanks,

Marilyn

As has been stated before, because you don't have Ultimate or Enterprise?

I believe Marilyn probably no longer works at Microsoft or at least in the division that handles this. This is very upsetting for them NOT to provide NFS support and typical Microsoft gestapo tactics to have you pay more for a service that is common on every other OS platform. I come from many years of sys admin and database support with Microsoft and now that I'm doing Oracle and various Unix flavors my eyes are being opened to a whole new world! Bye bye Microsoft holding us hostage and take the red pill!

It's not there because it's for Win 7 Enterprise and Ultimate.

On this page....

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=2391

Where it says in the title...

"Utilities and SDK for SUA ships in Microsoft Windows 7/ Windows Server 2008 R2."

They secretly mean...

Win 7 Enterprise / Ultimate.

They even say it twice, I guess to be sure everyone get's it...

This is stuck in bullet mode?

Anyway, the Visduh installer says to enable SUA in Windows Features

*Edited due to false WYSIWYG. Whatever mess is left of this is gonna stay because I'm tired of fighting with microsinks lame excuse for a forum editor. I could go on about not having so many issues elsewhere...
