Creating The NFS Share
Before creating the NFS share, see "topic NFS Share".
NOTE: Ensure that you complete the prerequisites and configuration steps before creating the NFS share.
To create an NFS share:

Click Start → Programs → Administrative tools → Share and Storage Management, or click Server Manager →
Roles → File Services → Share and Storage Management.
2.
On the right pane, select Provision Share.
3.
Browse and select the volume that you want to enable as an NFS share and follow the wizard.
4.
Select NFS as the share protocol.
The folder name is displayed as share name followed by the share path. Specify the NTFS/NFS settings and
permissions in the next screens.
NOTE: While creating the share, modify the NTFS settings to add the newly-created group details with specific
permissions. (This adds all new users that you included in that group).
5.
Before the NFS share is created, Review settings and Create Share allows you to revise the share settings before
you actually create it.
6.
Click Create to proceed.
