<li>Windows Vista x64, Windows Server 2008 R2 x64, or Windows 7 x64. (Windows XP and previous versions are not supported. 32-bit builds have not been tested.)</li>
<li>Open Windows Explorer and navigate to <strong>ms-nfs41-client\build.vc10</strong>.</li>
<li>Make a copy of <strong>env.props.example</strong>, and rename it to <strong>env.props</strong>.
<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>Select the Debug configuration and x64 platform (accessible via Build->Configuration Manager).</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 'x64 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><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>

<h2>4. <aname="startup">Starting the Client</a></h2>
<h3>Instructions</h3>
<ol>
<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>AUTH_SYS does not handle multiple users, so all operations are sent as the user that established the mount.</li>
<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>Symbolic links are not supported in Cygwin. Connectathon's basic test8 and special test nfsidem have been commented out.</li>
<li>Does not properly handle renaming a file on top of an existing open file- the existing file is removed on rename, and not preserved until last close. Connectathon's special test op_ren has been commented out.</li>
