An embodiment of the invention may include a method, computer program product, and system for network attached storage configuration. The embodiment may include receiving a request, from a network storage administrator, to create a network share on a network attached storage for a network server. Based on the received request, sending an operating system identifier probe to the network server to identify an operating system deployed on the network server. The embodiment may include receiving an identification of the operating system deployed on the network server. Based on the identified operating system deployed on the network server, configuring the network share on the network attached storage. Configuring the network share on the network attached storage may include selecting a network protocol filesystem type compatible with the identified operating system deployed on the network server. The embodiment may include testing compatibility between the network share and network server.
