If you want to mount a NAS \/ NFS share in ESX 3.0, then you are not given the option to choose a username and password.
\nThis presented me with a small challange because i needed to mount \/vmimages\/vmiso\/ to a share on a W2K3 server.<\/p>\n
SoI created this small script, that mounts \/vmimages\/vmiso\/ to a NFS share on a W2K3 server.
\nThe script is intented to run as part of the Service Console’s startup routine.
\nI have implemented a simpel log feature, that logs the date and time the script is run and any errors if any.<\/p>\n
