Re: How To Mount Iso File In Windows Server 2012 R2
Vinnie Breidenthal
Is there a way to mount a server to a drive letter in Windows? I know a compareable software called MacFusion. I really like the idea. and was wondering if anyone knows ways to do this type of thing in windows?
win-sshfs is capable of mounting a remote server's filesystem via SSH and mapping it to a drive letter. This is not for the faint of heart, though. There's almost no documentation (and I don't have time to write it :) ).
This is what I've been looking for.The solutions given did allow me to map to a web folder, but did not give me the drive letter. Having a web folder is only really a shortcut to FTP. I am unable to save changes to the web folder. I have to save them locally, then upload.
In this post I will explain how you can configure an NFS Server on a Windows 2016 Server and connect/mount the NFS exports on Linux clients, in my case I wanted to run a Linux virtual machine whist ensuring that the actual data resides on physical disks on my host machine ensuring that the data is automatically part of my nightly backup routine and did not need to run separate backup scripts on the VM(s).
In the past I used to run VMWare ESXi and hosted everything in their own virtual machine for better isolation and performance although since then, I had tested and was extremely happy with the performance of running virtual machines on top of Hyper-V and Windows Server so when I re-built my home server several months ago I decided to go down that route instead.
My home server has 1x SDD (500GB for the host operating system and local applications) in addition to 2x WD Red 4TB hard drives in a hardware RAID1 configuration, I periodically backup this array over my LAN to a Buffalo NAS device.
My plan is to install a new VM running Ubuntu Server 16.04 that will host an instance of NextCloud, this will provide me, my family and friends with a free alternative to DropBox with masses of space in addition to all the other cool things that NextCloud offer such as encrypted video calls and the like.
By setting up an NFS server on the host operating system, instead of provisioning this Linux VM with a massive virtual hard disk (and taking drive space away from the host OS) I have instead provisioned it with a single 20GB virtual hard drive and will then use NFS shares on my Windows Server to host the files on the physical disk and thus be automatically part of my backup routine and alleviate the need for using rsync or rsnapshot etc. on the VM and transferring it at regular intervals.
As you can see from the above screenshot, the permissions for this share are very restrictive by default, this is basically saying that for ALL MACHINES trying to access this share they WILL NOT be granted any access.
We can now jump back over to our Windows server and check our NFS server directory, we should see a file named test.txt and when we open it in Notepad, the contents should appear as follows:-
Hi,
I'm running Windows Server 2008 R2, 64bit. We have a couple NFS shares
on our NetApp SAN that we need to mount from this server as letter
drives. I have installed "Service for NFS" and I have successfully
mounted the NFS shares using both "mount" and "net use", but I have a
couple questions:
1. Is one method better than the other, "mount" vs. "net use"
2. When using "mount," the mounts are lost when I log out of that user
or restart. Can I do any sort of a "persistent" tag with "mount" (I
got it to work with "net use", but this leds into my next question...)
3. Ultimately I would like to have the NFS mounts remain active even
when there is no user logged in, is there any way to mount an NFS
share as a service or something like that so that it is always
available?
Please someone help me, I bought an HPE Ultrium 8 unit in the USA and brought it to be used in Brazil on a Windows server externally with an HP smart array P822 controller, but I cannot mount the tapes on the unit using LTFS, the software HPE library and tape tools recognizes the LTO8 drive, but I cannot mount the tape drive.
You can try connecting it to a Linux machine and test it. LTT report about the drive condition is not good. So if the test on Linux machine turns out to be a failure. Then We suggest you to get this drive replaced ASAP as said this is a new drive. Log a call with the support team with the setial# and they can process a repalcement.
I have just finished relocating my DCE VM and a windows server VM (that i use as a portal server and backup location for DCE) from a workgroup where it was backing up happily, to our corperate domain vlan.
Both VM's are on the same new vlan with no firewalls in between and DCE now fails to mount the same share after i edit the existing backup schedule and update it with the new IP.
Nothing else has changed except IP's and the windows server is now joined to the domain.
I have found the solution.
In my environment when the server connected to the domain a local security policy changed the "Network security: LAN Manger authentication level" setting to "Send NTLMv2 responce only. Refuse LM & NTLM" when this happened all attemps were access denied.
You need to check if your backup user have correct permissions on your windows box. Permissions can change when you join computer to domain. Check both "Sharing" and "Security" tabs in folder properties.
Chad, try to replace "localhost" with actual domain name or server name. Else dig in security settings of your domain. Maybe some GPO blocks your connection. Check Windows Firewall rules, maybe its has been changed after joining machine to domain.
I ran into a similar issue where DCE wouldn't mount to a Windows share. My windows server had lots of Event ID 2017 errors (The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations) in the systems logs that would occur whenever I tried to mount the share. So after researching the error I discovered that I needed to edit two registry keys as noted in the links I provided below. Since editing them I have been able to successfully mount to the Windows Share and perform full backups again.
Hi Chad, Have you slove your problem via this solution? I have the same issue with you, I check my "local group policy editor", same with yours. I just want to know how to change it ? must by network administrator? Thanks!
Hi Brenda, I didn't end up changing the GP, the latest DCE version added an option to address this NTLM issue. However I think i'm still getting this issue with DCO when mounting the remote share... I still need to look into the logs.
I am having similar difficulty mounting a share - which previously mounted properly. Attempting to download the logs as suggested in the comments. Prompted for credentials and unable to hit on which ones are expected.
I am trying to mount (connect to) folders on my company server, at boot and have the user name & password handled by the credentials file so that I can open & save files as easily as if it was a local file. I have if you have read the post last year, tried just about everything, except moving the server into my office and using it as a box.
Opened Terminal in Super User mode kwrite /etc/fstab Added ther line below /etc/fstab. Saved & closed fstab opened a new file in kwrite wrote username=WorldTextingFederations (You get the idea) the next line is password=yeahsureyoubetcha Then saved the file in /etc as .creds Next I closed kwrite and exited Terminal

I did not post the following in my post above, because I stopt reading your post after I found out that it wouild took me time to unravel the puzzle of mixed story/computer text. But I now feel that I have to make a few remarks.
This seems to be about SAMBA. It is a pitty that you did not mention that keyword prominantly to draw the attention of people with SAMBA knowledge. In any case, for many this is the place to go and find a solution when they want to use SAMBA: openSUSE SuSE Linux HOWTOs and Tutorials by Swerdna
You indeed did not give a lot of information about what you have or try to use or do there. Of course nobody here will even remember that you asked something last year, let alone search for it. When there is valuable information there, you could copy/paste that in your thread here. After all it is you who wants help and IMHO you should make it the volunteers here as easy as possible to help you. Then they will try to do so gladly.
To Martin. While your assumption that the OP does not realy want to mount to the place he says is almost certainly true, it is IMHO not true that //smb://192.168.18.119/Newtgingrich/republicans/1d10ts is not a valid path (string of directory names). The // simply reduces to a single / and both : and . are valid within file names. I did change a little bit because I did not want to show this inside / as root, but I think it will convince you:
Well, the / is not as much valid as the . and :. The latter two are simply as valid as a and 1, but the / is not valid in a file name (one of the very few characters), but in using it double, or triple in a path, it it is often (at least in the shell) interpreted to as if there was only one /. I am not sure if this removal of redundant / is done on an application level, or that the library calls where you use them in (for opening files, etc.) do this (which would of course be very nice for the developers).
Our NFS Server: In this example we already have an NFS server setup on a CentOS 7 Linux system which is available at 192.168.1.14 and we have exported the /root/nfs directory with NFS. See our guide on creating an NFS server in Linux here if you need information on how to do this.
