I needed to access some AIX and linux NFS shares so I tried to find a tool to access the NFS shares. After searching some more I found there is a NFS client included with Windows, you just have to download the software and install it.

After downloading the software extract the package and double click the setup.exe. For my installation I used these settings during the install:

After the installation I rebooted my machine just to be sure... it is Windows after all...

After the reboot I could mount, check and unmount a share like this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>mount
