Hi Wonko,
I've used, so far Windows Server 2008 R2 through to Server 2016.
* Using the native NFS feature which is bundled with the OS. Fails with the reason you have described above.
* FreeNFS - has has the same issue as above.
* WinNFSd - the application runs but VMware wont see the NFS (http://blog.gethelpb...or-vmware-esxi/) this seems to explain the reason why.
* I was going to look into Arsenal Image Mounter but wanted to use free software where possible. I will revisit this to see if I can get any further. (NB I know that non commercial can use this FoC but not sure where a School would sit within this scope.)
More reading require me thinks, thanks for replying.
thanks
(p.s. I'm currently trying with Ubuntu but have not finished this as yet)
