NFS version 4.1 and version 3 work unexpectedly in Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012


View products that this article applies to.

Symptoms

Issue 1

After you restart the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target service on a Network File System (NFS) server that runs Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012, you cannot access the NFS shares through NFS version 3.

Note: This issue does not occur on NFS version 4.1.

Issue 2

Assume that you have an NFS server that runs Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2012. Additionally, assume that an NFS client which uses NFS version 4.1 does not have the access permissions for the NFS shares. In this situation, the client can access (in read-only mode) the shares unexpectedly.
Note: This issue does not occur on NFS version 3.
