You are sharing through NFS. You should share through CIFS/SMB

    I have installed 2008R2, and added the file Server Role.

    • Created a volume, and created a new share in that voluem (all from the File Server GUI)

    enter image description here

    When my users log to the \servername\ they do not see the share.

    enter image description here

    • When I check the folder properties (right click) it says that the folder is not share)

      enter image description here

    My question:

    • What does File server manage if it can't set correctly the share options on the shared folder?
    • or is my process wrong?

    Do I need to still "Enable Sharing" on the folder? I so hope not too.
