How to enable SR-IOV (intel 82599 adapter) Hyper-V CORE

I am trying to configure SR-IOV, I am following the document from Intel, the servers are Windows 2012 Hyper-V CORE. The documentation says that from Device Manager / Network Adapters / Advanced / SR-IOV Value Enabled.

Since they are CORE Hyper-V I don't have access to GUI and can't be installed. That being said, can anyone please let me know how do I enable this setting?

Here are the steps from intel - Page 9

Powershell will be your friend. This TechNet blog gives you what you'll need to get SR-IOV going in hyper-v.

thanks I have already seen this blog. I am just trying to find a way to get the "Intel" SR-IOV setting enabled. I can't do it through device manager no GUI so I need to find a way to do it through PS. If you look at the link with the PDF you will see the step where SR-IOV is enabled at the NIC level.
