    NFS from Windows workstations? Probably it will be harder to implement
    and you will need 3rd party software such as Reflection or AccessNFS

    SMB is a good implementation, and can depend 100% on your Windows Domain
    Controller if is the case, or you can even build your Domain from a
    linux box.
