Even in a fully supported, all-MS environment, I've found the support for "Previous Versions" is spotty and sort of unreliable at best. Not to mention, I think the user interface is just simply non-intuitive. As an alternative, here's what I do: ln -s .zfs/snapshot snapshots Voila. All Windows or Mac or Linux or whatever users are able to easily access snapshots. It's worth note, in the default config of zfs-auto-snapshot, the snaps are created with non-cifs compatible characters in the filename (the ":" colon character in the time.) So I also make it a habit during installation, to modify the zfs-auto-snapshot scripts, and substitute that character.
