Solution

Change the value of the following registry key (on the Windows Server providing NFS) to 0 and restart Server for NFS:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ServerForNfs\CurrentVersion\Exports\0\RestrictChown = 0 (DWORD)

Workaround

You could also disable Direct NFS:
set ORACLE environment.
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib/
make -f ins_rdbms.mk dnfs_off

— restart the instance
