Install the NFS Server service on Windows Server 2012 via PowerShell

2 settembre 2013

The NFS Server role of Windows Server 2012 can be installed entirely from PowerShell, without going through Server Manager.

Open PowerShell as Administrator and run the following commands:

Import-Module ServerManager
Add-WindowsFeature FS-NFS-Service
Import-Module NFS

To create a share, for example exporting the folder C:\archive\test under the name nfstest:

New-NfsShare -Name nfstest -Path C:\archive\test

The share is immediately available to NFS clients; use Get-NfsShare to list the existing exports and Grant-NfsSharePermission to control which hosts can mount them.
