When I try to install the NFS service on windows 2016 it fail.
In the system event log I've got 3 errors:
- The Server for NFS Open RPC (ONCRPC) Portmapper service failed to start due to the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
- The Server for NFS Driver service depends on the Server for NFS Open RPC (ONCRPC) Portmapper service which failed to start because of the following error:
A device attached to the system is not functioning.
- The Server for NFS service depends on the Server for NFS Driver service which failed to start because of the following error:
The dependency service or group failed to start.
Any idea what can I check to solve this?
Best regards

Q: Any idea what can I check to solve this?
A: You can force WS2016 to work as NFS server but it won't be any good: Performance isn't great, and Microsoft (OK, University of Chicago actually) Windows NFS server stack is missing from major HCLs (VMware, Citrix etc). It would be a better idea to a) enable Hyper-V role, and b) install FreeBSD or Linux to make one of these guys work as a compatible and high performing NFS server.
