Administrators can install printers remotely by using the automatic detection feature, which finds and
installs printers on the local subnet to the local print server. Administrators can log on remotely to a
server at a branch location, and then install printers remotely.

Network File System (NFS) User Mapping
Network File System (NFS) is a network file sharing protocol that allows remote access to files over
a network and is typically used in networks with computers running UNIX, Linux, or Mac OS operating
systems. NFS is supported on all HP X1000 G2 Network Storage Systems.
All of the following types of NFS account mapping are supported: Active Directory® Domain Services
(AD DS) mapped user access, Active Directory® Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) mapped
user access, unmapped anonymous user access, and unmapped UNIX user access.
For more detailed information about each of these access methods, see the NFS Account Mapping
in Windows Server 2008 R2 whitepaper, which is available for download at:
.
Configuring AD LDS
To simplify AD LDS mapped user access, HP provides the scripts that Microsoft describes in the NFS
Account Mapping in Windows Server 2008 R2 whitepaper. The whitepaper describes two phases
of scripts. Phase 1 scripts are used to install and prepare your system for NFS account mapping.
Phase 2 scripts are used to configure specific users and groups for NFS account mapping.
For more detailed information about the Phase 1 and Phase 2 scripts, see the Microsoft Knowledge
Base article Description of scripts to use to simplify user account mapping between a UNIX client and
a Windows-based server at
Microsoft hotfix 2222746
HP supports Microsoft hotfix 2222746. This hotfix applies to Windows Storage Server 2008 R2 as
well as the products listed in the KB article. The hotfix addresses the following problem: File permissions
are incorrectly set when you share a folder on a Windows Server 2008-based or Windows Storage
Server 2008-based NFS server. For full details of this hotfix, see

The incorrect behavior that the hotfix addresses occurs when using AD LDS mapped user access. HP
has installed this hotfix on the storage system but has not enabled it by default. You can enable it by
setting the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NfsServer\NlmNsm\AutoCorrectPrimaryGroup
Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x1
After enabling the hotfix by setting the registry subkey, you must restart the storage system in order
for the hotfix to take effect.
