Hi, <br />
<br />
We have an SMB share on Windows 2008R2 server. The same share needs to be accessed by a couple of Windows XPSP2 background machine that manipulate the content of the share with an application that only works with NFS. <br />
<br />
I have some questions:<br />
<br />
1.) Can we have the folder shared via NFS and SMB? <br />
<br />
2.) Do we need to install anything on the Windows XPSP2 machines in order to access the NFS share over the Windows 2008R2 box? If so, can you please indicate what and how? <br />
<br />
Thank you!<br />
