On the client end I have some very old RedHat based systems. On the server end is a Windows 2008 system running NFS server software. The clients mount the server resource as an NFS2 mount but some compliance issues were discovered with the setup.
I'm not sure I can help, but I'm very curious. How old are these systems, that they don't support NFSv3? And what kind of compliance issues? I don't know of any security enhancements that were introduced in NFSv3.
It's a combination of some very old (RH2.1) systems and a rigid certification process. In short, once the machines are built it's very, very difficult to modify the setup. Not only are they only available by a satellite link on only certain days, but the systems are critical and don't have maintenance windows. Every few years they may get updated
