Valid point. The Windows server lives in my rack with my POWER7. It's Windows Firewall only allows RDP from my workstation, as well as traffic from my POWER7.

With domain servers, Kerberos authentication works for QNTC so authentication is seamless. With a non-domain server, there's no way for those users to authenticate. IBMi passes the Kerberos ticket, but the non-domain server can't validate it.

Ummm.... not to rain on this lovely parade, but...

NFS should only be used within your own protected network (i.e. two machines on a trusted LAN behind a firewall, over a VPN, or similar.)

NFS is very old and not very secure. So please be sure you are running it within a trusted environment.

I don't understand why SMB was a "slam dunk" within your Windows domain, but not outside of it? Is it because you have different userid/password on the IBM i vs. the Windows server?
