<li>Open <strong>env.props</strong> in a text editor, and verify that the value in <code><WDKPATH>C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.0</WDKPATH></code> points to your WinDDK installation.</li>
<li>Open the solution file <strong>ms-nfs41-client.sln</strong> in Visual Studio 2010.</li>
<li>Right-click on the <strong>daemon</strong> project and select Build. The project and its dependencies should build without errors. The resulting binaries, <strong>nfsd.exe</strong> and <strong>libtirpc.dll</strong>, can be found under <strong>ms-nfs41-client\build.vc10\x64\Debug\</strong>.</li>
<li>Open a WinDDK 'Checked Build Environment' as Administrator in this directory (right click and 'Run as administrator').</li>
<li>Create a certificate for test-signing the driver (<ahref="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff540213%28VS.85%29.aspx"title="msdn.microsoft.com">Creating Test Certificates</a>):
<li>Use the certificate to sign <strong>nfs41_driver.sys</strong> (<ahref="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff553467%28VS.85%29.aspx"title="msdn.microsoft.com">Test-Signing a Driver File</a>):
<li>Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, or Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Libraries (<ahref="https://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=8328">x86</a> or <ahref="https://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=13523">x64</a>). An installer for the redistributable libraries are included with binary releases.</li>
<li>Run <strong>vcredist_x*.exe</strong> to install the Visual C++ Redistributable Libraries.</li>
<li>Double-click on <strong>nfs41_driver.cer</strong> and select 'Install Certificate', then place it in the 'Trusted Root Certificate Authorities' store.</li>
<li>Open a command prompt as Administrator in this directory.</li>
<h2>3. <aname="dfs">Disable the DFS Client</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>The Windows DFS client interferes with some requests, indicated by long delays during operation. See <ahref="http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171386">http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171386</a> for more information.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Instructions</h3>
<ol>
<li>Open <strong>regedit.exe</strong> and navigate to <code>HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Mup</code>.</li>
<li>Add a DWORD value named <code>DisableDfs</code> with a value of 1.</li>
<li><strong>C:\etc\ms-nfs41-idmap.conf</strong> from <ahref="#install">Installation</a> step 7.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Instructions</h3>
<ol>
<li>Open <strong>C:\etc\ms-nfs41-idmap.conf</strong> in a text editor.</li>
<li>Uncomment the <code>ldap_hostname</code> and <code>ldap_base</code> lines, and configure as appropriate to match your ldap server configuration (we'll add suggestions later).</li>
<li>If you've installed the binary distribution, you'll find two versions of the nfs client daemon: <strong>nfsd.exe</strong> and <strong>nfsd_debug.exe</strong>. <strong>nfsd.exe</strong> is built to run as a service, and does not provide easy access to debug output. We strongly recommend trying <strong>nfsd_debug.exe</strong> first (using the Instructions below) to verify that you can start the daemon and mount/unmount an nfs share. You can then close <strong>nfsd_debug.exe</strong> and start running <strong>nfsd.exe</strong> as a service with:<br/><code>> nfsd.exe -install</code>.</li>
<li>From a Windows command prompt, run <strong>nfsd.exe</strong> to start the nfs client daemon. Leave this running in the background until all mapped drives are unmounted.
<li>When recovering opens and locks outside of the server's grace period, client does not check whether the file has been modified by another client.</li>
<li>Extended attributes are supported with some limitations: a) the server must support <ahref="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5661#section-5.3"title="RFC 5661: 5.3. Named Attributes">NFS Named Attributes</a>, b) the order of listings cannot be guaranteed by NFS, and c) the EaSize field cannot be reported for directory queries of FileBothDirInformation, FileFullDirInfo, or FileIdFullDirInfo.</li>
