You want to have a granular mailbox backup from exchange. For this, you installed the “Microsoft Services for NFS” package from Windows Components, but it doesnt start Portmap service when you issue “net start portmap” and failes. What can be the reason?
First possible reason is: If you have upgraded windows 2003 from R1 SP2 to R2, this can be the reason. Try to reinstall Service Pack 2 for R2. This should possibly solve your problem.

Open a command prompt on the client server. Type..
sc qc portmap
If the startup type is demand, type…
sc config portmap start= auto
This will change the startup type to auto
