What "unmapped user access" for NFS share in Windows Server 2008 R2?
In the beginning, I followed this Youtube video to set up an NFS share in Windows Server 2008 R2:
https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=BQ8Q_vsiksg
Please note that the default option to allow to access Unix unmapped user is not changed (to about 1 min 57 sec).
Then I found another article at http://www.vmwarearena.com/2012/07/create-nfs-datastore-for-esx-in-windows.html
But in this article, I like to select allow anonymous access (instead of allow access Unix unmapped user).
So who is correct? Or both are correct (which means that this 'unmapped user access' is not serious)?
And why should we have to allow root access (in the NFS share permissions dialog box)? What a security risk?
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried to run through the steps taken from the blog of VMware?
Also, there are 3 KB articles to know in case of potential problems
1. http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1004490
2. http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003967
3. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753302 (WS.10) .aspx
Noting in particular this section
Share the folder of Windows for NFS
To share the folder of Windows for NFS:
- Right click on the local folder you want to share via NFS.
- Click NFS share.
- Type the name for the share. For example, NFS-VMFS01.
- Delete to allow anonymous access.
- Click on permissions.
- Change the type of access in reading + writing and select allow root Access.

How to configure the mode of kiosh for thin clients on windows server 2008
I have an eight Thin Clients who will use RDP to access (Terminal Server Services) Remote Desktop Services on a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. I would like to set up a group of users for these Thin Clients to be in a mode Kiosh so that they have very limited capabilities, can not download and run anything, unable to save anything in the computer except on the desktop and when they log off and back on everything, they had disappeared because the mandatory profile is loaded again.

Are you sure that you have installed a Windows Server 2008 R2?
Because the normal procedure is that after the installation, you will get a prompt to choose an administrator password. Once you are connected.
There is no additional user created during installation. This only happens when you install versions of Windows desktop.

I have two running Windows Storage Server 2003 storage servers in a domain R2 Windows Server 2008 Standard. On top of the Active Directory authentication, I want to add authentication of MAC address for the access to one of the storage servers. In this scenario, an authenticated user is unable to log on to the target storage server unless the user is also on one of the computers MAC address accepted. All domain users will have access to other folders and files as configuration storage server in Active Directory. I already have a user access to installation by the permissions for folders on the storage server target, but I still want to restrict access to specific computers as well. For what it's worth the server hardware is HP Proliant DL360 G5 for the Standard Server 2008 R2 and server HP Proliant DL185 G5 for two Storage Server 2003 computers. I don't want to have MAC address authentication as the main means of access control to the network, only for the storage server a as an addition to control Active Directory.

I would like to have a remote desktop solution that allows me to connect to remote computers even while users are connected, with the help of another session. The idea is that the user working locally in the remote system can function normally undisturbed by the remote user.
I have tried TightVNC , but I couldn't understand how to enter an independent session.
I am using Windows Server 2008 and I want two users access to the server with two different sessions as remote users.

We have a Windows Server 2008 R2 with Sp1. There was the same exact problem in Windows Server 2008 (KB958596).
When you use RDP or ICA (Citrix XenApp 6), smart card login prompt at random does not appear. When we close the RDP or ICA and make a new session of the guest of the smart card is here.
Where can we get a fix, or a reg fix?
Hotfix for Windows Server 2008 below...
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/958596
In this scenario, users are unable to connect with their card chip and instead, he is invited for their usernames and passwords. If users don't provide these details, the Terminal Services session times out and disconnects.
When this problem occurs, the option of smart card logon does not appear in the Terminal Services session. Users cannot connect by using their secret codes, and they must provide a user name and password. The option of smart card logon working again after that that they reconnect to the Terminal Services session one or more times
