No NFS Server to install for Windows 7
On 64 Ultimate, I've been unable to install the "server" part of the NFS services. Previous versions of windows from what screenshots I've seen include both the Server and Client parts in "Add or remove programs" or "Turn features on and off" in this case
for Seven. I am not using a server edition of Windows but am trying to make a small NFS server for my linux platforms.

Hi Zeromus,
Please check up on

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ee767578.aspx. There are many other entries on Technet about the issue.
As I see, NFS Server component is a Windows 2008 is a Role Service of File Services Role on Windows 2008, not a Windows client component. 64 Ultimate is a Windows 7 version, or a Windows Vista version. Both are Clients, not servers.
If you check on Windows 7 Program and Features, you have Services for NFS. From there you have two components, Administrative Tools and Client for NFS. Both are Client Side components.
