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:

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<!----><!--Published via DxPublisher.-->

Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2

This should be the link you were looking for.

Thanks,


Marilyn

    I believe that both of the answers provided above are incorrect as neither solution worked for me, and I'm looking for a solution as well.  Windows 7 Professional does not have UNIX services available (a requirement for the Utilities and SDK sent by Marilyn-Support Engineer) and does not have Services for NFS (as described by Geonk).

    The Client for NFS is NOT built into Windows 7 Professional, so both the original poster and I are looking for a way to connect to the NFS share on our servers.  Is there a way to do this with Windows 7 Professional?  Does this mean that I have to spend another $300+ to get NFS?
