Abstract

In a world where interoperability between heterogeneous systems becomes increasingly important, ensuring that the Microsoft NFS 4.1 server implementation was respecting the requirements of the RFC was a top priority when we started Windows Server 2012. This talk will focus on detailing the testing approach that allowed the team to deliver a high quality server implementation, even as industry NFSv4.1 clients were still in development. It will also cover some of the tests that have been run during industry interop events to help increase the level of interoperability of the NFSv4.1 ecosystem.
