It sounds like you need to use WinNT SMB resources from within Solaris.
There are two program suites which can help you:

1) Samba - http://www.samba.org - is an implementation of SMB for Unix
   systems.  With this you can make Solaris look just like a WinNT server.
   It's freely available.  It can mount WinNT file shares, but that
   functionality is available only under Linux.
2) Rumba (I think it's now called Sharity) is a proxy-type program that
   makes SMB shares look like NFS mounts.
