Can not create NIS map for automount - May 25, '06, 8:30:21 PM

I have windows 2003 R2 newest release. I tried to create an automount map using Serivces for NIS.

When I run the command below on the Master and Subordinate NIS Servers;
nismap create -i 1 -g " " -y auto.master

I receive the error;
Invalid extension in map name. extension = '.master'

I then tried;
nismap create -i 1 -g " " -y auto_master

Only to receive;
Activity = Creating map = 'auto.master'...

FAILURE
adding NIS entries to AD

I also tried using the NIS Migration Wizard, but there is no option to specify that "the key is not part of the value for this map". I knew that SFU v.3.5 has that option in wizard but not in this version.

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks you
