Server for NFS can be made to log account mapping failures to the Windows Event Log by creating a DWORD (32-bit) Value in the following location and setting the value to 1:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\nfsserver\Parameters\VerboseMappingFailureLogging

After you create the key, you must restart Server for NFS. To restart Server for NFS, open an elevated command prompt. (Click Start, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator.) Then run the following command:

nfsadmin server stop && nfsadmin server start
