Access AIX NFS Share from Windows Server 2008
Hi all,
Hopefully this question hasn't been asked a thousand times. I am trying to connect a Windows Server to an exported NFS share which resides on an AIX box.
I think the directory is exported correctly from the AIX side but I can't verify that because I didn't do it myself. On the windows side, I can map a network drive to \\aixservername\nfssharename and it sees it, but I get "Access is denied" when I try to open it.
I assume this is because it's not recognizing the domain username on the Unix side but I don't know how to fix that. I have installed services for Unix on my 2008 server, which includes Unix Identity Management and Server for NIS. When I go to the properties of the administrator account in Active Directory there is a Unix Attributes tab which I have filled out but without success, I keep getting "Null GID - The selected group does not have a GID assigned. Assign a GID to the group first."
I must be missing something stupid. Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks!

NAME
idmap_ad - Samba's idmap_ad Backend for Winbind
DESCRIPTION
The idmap_ad plugin provides a way for Winbind to read id mappings from an AD server that uses RFC2307/SFU schema extensions. This module
implements only the "idmap" API, and is READONLY. Mappings must be provided in advance by the administrator by adding the
posixAccount/posixGroup classes and relative attribute/value pairs to the user and group objects in the AD.
IDMAP OPTIONS
range = low - high
Defines the available matching UID and GID range for which the backend is authoritative. Note that the range acts as a filter. If
specified any UID or GID stored in AD that fall outside the range is ignored and the corresponding map is discarded. It is intended as
a way to avoid accidental UID/GID overlaps between local and remotely defined IDs.
schema_mode = <rfc2307 | sfu >
Defines the schema that idmap_ad should use when querying Active Directory regarding user and group information. This can be either the
RFC2307 schema support included in Windows 2003 R2 or the Service for Unix (SFU) schema.
EXAMPLES
The following example shows how to retrieve idmappings from our principal and trusted AD domains. If trusted domains are present id
conflicts must be resolved beforehand, there is no guarantee on the order conflicting mappings would be resolved at this point. This
example also shows how to leave a small non conflicting range for local id allocation that may be used in internal backends like BUILTIN.
[global]
idmap backend = tdb
idmap uid = 1000000-1999999
idmap gid = 1000000-1999999
idmap config CORP : backend = ad
idmap config CORP : range = 1000-999999
