I am attempting to set up our company local dev environment on my Windows 10 laptop. I have to get company IT to install applications that require elevated access or permissions. Now that Vagrant is installed, I am able to install this plug-in myself. However, now when I run vagrant up I get a series of prompts for elevated access.

What permissions are needed in order to set up the NFS on Win10 using this plug-in? IT will, if required, grant me some granular permissions if they know what to grant.

The plugin wants to add a firewall rule for winnfsd.exe. The call for adding this rule can be found in this file:

Hope this helps.

Thanks! I finally prevailed and they gave me a Mac. I'm sure someone will benefit from this.
