Enabling MPIO in Windows Server 2012 core
Here is how you can enable MPIO quickly in a Windows server 2012 core installation like Hyper-V 2012 (without GUI). Run this command to install MPIO feature: ocsetup MultipathIo /norestart You will have to restart the computer later on. MPIO won’t work until the server is restarted.

They had not enabled the NFS extensions in AD, so I could not use the AD authentication. The “unmapped UNIX user access” option worked only for giving access to the NFS share to only one Solaris server. Other Solaris servers could not write to the same share. Hence I broke down and enabled anonymous access. So here is how to create a quick NFS share for allowing your Solaris brothers to send data to your Windows world.
