I have a Windows [Web] Server 2008 R2 from which I need to mount an NFS share on a Linux machine. The Windows help refers to "Services for Network File System (NFS)" under Administrative Tools, which I was unable to find. I've also tried looking for the NFS client under "Add Features" in server management, but no luck there either.
So, how does one go about mounting NFS shares from W2k8 R2, if at all possible? I would prefer not to use any 3rd party tools or drivers. Thanks.

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
