That sounds like what I had in mind. Unfortunately, the Windows server is also my problem, so I'll have to figure out how to install NFS.
I assume the MOUNT has to be ran during IPL?

NFS?
Have them export a share. And then you MOUNT this share over a dummy directory.
For example on one IBM i I export a share then on another IBM i I mount it using:
MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('gdihq:/tmp') +
MNTOVRDIR('/gdihq/tmp') +
OPTIONS('rw,suid,retry=5,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,+
timeo=20,retrans=5,acregmin=30,acregmax=60,acdirmin=30,+
acdirmax=60,soft,async,sec=sys,vers=3:2,nocache')
In summary the remote machine does an export called tmp I created a dummy directory called /gdihq/tmp on my local machine (done outside of the above command).
Then this command mounts that export over that dummy directory.
