Hi I believe this should cover everything for you:

This requires Standard Edition, and web edition will not have this option.
I'd recommend just mounting a cifs share via fstab
//serverfqdn/sharename$/ /path/to/mount cifs uid=[uid],username=[fileshareuser],password=[filesharepass],wsize=32768,rsize=32768 0 0
To install Services for NFS components
1.
Click Start, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Server Manager.
2.
In the left pane, click Roles.
3.
Under Roles Summary in the right pane, click Add Roles. The Add Roles Wizard appears. Click Next.
4.
Select the File Services check box to install this role on the server, and then click Next.
5.
Select the Services for Network File System check box, and then click Next.
6.
Confirm your selection, and then click Install.
7.
When the installation completes, the installation results appear. Click Close.
I ran out of time to troubleshoot and ended up restarting the services after killing off some other hung mount attempts that the Devs had also fired off.
Restarting portmap and the Debian nfs service got this working again AFTER killing off the stuck client mount attempts. The NFS service restarted the rpc.statd, rpc.idmapd, and rpc.mountd processes.
Stacktraces were no longer being generated for new mount requests after the old mount attempts were killed.

You can try using
umount -f
to forcibly unmount. Depending on disk activity, it hasn't always worked for me; sometimes I've had to cycle the machine (unless I could restore the service).For the future, you can look into whether
mount_nfs
arguments-i
(interruptible),-s
(soft mount), or-R
n (maximum retry count) are appropriate for your environment.I wasn't able to quickly tease out a gold standard for this, but here are some related items:
