THANK YOU to all!
Patrik, I didn't feel like anyone provided a "terse" response 😊 (I'm a very "direct" person).
With Richard's link, the link from IBM (and everyone that responded), I was able to get NFS fired up and working.
Richard - I would add to your github document if I could have captured better screen shots on the Windows 2019 server - but we remote into it, so the resolution is not the best.

*I used the MOUNT command and OPTIONS exactly as Richard outlined, except I used the server name instead of the IP.
Jim, I'm confused about the UID/GID statement below... I was under the impression that NFS doesn't use "user id" to authenticate?
Also, if we go this route... do I need to do anything special during an IPL or system save (i.e. unmount file systems)? I know I'll have to place the MOUNT command in my startup (IPL).
Anything else to consider?
Thanks again Everyone!
Greg

In this case I believe IBM i followed the UNIX methods etc, so they should be the same, or very similar, so Patrik, your experience should be valid.
We’ve used NFS extensively at customers and it works really well, but, big but, UNIX uses the UID/GID not the IBM user profile so those need to match up between the systems. The UID and GID can be found with DSPUSRPRF, and scroll down to near bottom. I ‘think’ windows also uses the UID.
