Looks like “CIFS” (actually SMB v2/v3) would be your best share-publishing protocol here… OS X and Linux have good support for this at this point, and why make Windows Server use a not-as-well supported protocol if you don’t have to?
If you must use NFS, looks like there is support in the product (don’t know about 2012R2, but assume the same as 2012…) - http://blogs.technet.com/b/filecab/archive/2012/09/14/server-for-nfs-in-windows-server-2012.aspx W.

As an avenue of deprecating a NetApp device we are investigating a block-only SAN device. That would mean using MS Windows 2012R2 to publish shares to clients: MS Windows, Mac OSX, Linux. The MS Windows Admins manage these file shares so Linux w/ Samba isn't an option. Does anybody have any insight into using MS Windows as a file server for NFS shares? -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--
