NFS Share on Win10 - Setting AnonymousUid / AnonymousGid doesn't work

[Mastakilla]

After setting AnonymousUid / AnonymousGid in the registry, as below...

And after rebooting the machine...

Windows still using "-2" as UID and GID??

While my NFS share needs it to be 0 as configured

Anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Thanks!

That last link also explains how to mount NFS shares on Windows without loosing all kind of security... (Mapping the Anonymous user to the root UID... The idea alone should make many people turn around in there grave...) I'll be trying that next...

For anyone interested... The method explained in that last link to mount as a specific user, instead of anonymous, works!

Code:

C:\Users\m4st4>type C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\passwd
    m4st4:x:1000:0:FreeNAS user:C:\Users\m4st4

    p: is now successfully connected to \\192.168.10.10\mnt\hgstpool\nfsds
    
    The command completed successfully.

Thanks for this. Working perfectly. But it doesn't show the UID GID correctly however, I hand the issues to write on the NFS drive which has been fixed:

Code:

C:\Users\JoKeR>mount -o nolock \\192.168.0.130\mnt\TfastZ\vNAS N:
N: is now successfully connected to \\192.168.0.130\mnt\TfastZ\vNAS

The command completed successfully.

C:\Users\JoKeR>mount
