asked on Setting up NFS on my Network
Does anyone have the proper procedures needed to setup my network for NFS for MAC's. I have 2 domain controllers (2008 Server) and a separate file server (2003 Server). I need to setup these machines so I can use NFS mapping on my mac's. Please help me so I can set this up properly. I am not sure what I need to do to my DC's for authentication and the file server for the shares. I need to get this done ASAP too so thanks in advance.

Do I setup the file server for sharing first then setup the DC's after?
You just need to setup NFS on your file server.

So do I not need to setup the Identity Management for UNIX on the DC's at all.
That is correct. If you want to integrate the MAC accounts and AD you can however use Microsoft Services for Unix.

So does this mean I already have it active then. I do not see the option for "Server for NFS". Is taht because my server is 2003 and not R2?

You have to download the Services for Unix separately and install:

What is your recommendation for this screen?

The top box should be fine. This should not be an issue for you unless you are running Interix based applications from your NFS shares.

What is the user name mapping server? Is that my domain controller?
The user name mapping server can be any machine in your environment. It runs the service that translates AD id's to their MAC/UNIX equivalents and vice versa. See the following links for some explinations:
