"Permission Denied" error when you access NFS shares on a Windows Server 2008-based NFS server in a domain


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:
  • You install Services for Network File System (NFS) on a server that is running Windows Server 2008 in a domain.
  • You use Active Directory Lightweight Directory Services (AD LDS) to manage user accounts for the NFS server.
  • You try to access NFS shares on the NFS server by using a user account that has the access permission for the NFS shares.
In this scenario, the access attempt fails. Additionally, you receive the following error message:

Permission Denied

Cause

This issue occurs because the NFS server does not communicate with the user by using AD LDS correctly in a domain environment. Therefore, the NFS server cannot map the user correctly.
