Hi, I tried following this tutorial using Windows Server 2019 for the NFS Server and a VMware vCenter ESXi host (ESXi v6.7, AD joined) as the Linux NFS client, but I couldn't figure out how to get the ESXi host to authentication with Kerberos. I keep getting a "Unable to complete Sysinfo operation" error.

I noticed that vCenter allows a username and password for ESXi host Kerberos authentication, so I tried using "nfs/linuxclient.lab.[mycompany].com" and the password I assigned that account in AD when I created it instead of generating a keytab.
