Unable to mount windows share in ubuntu

  • 772

I am trying to mount windows machine directory in my ubuntu 10.04.3 server. When I try to see the shared directory in the windows server its showing properly using the below command. The windows mahcine is joined to local domain xyz.com

My doubt is, cant we mount the shared directory which is connected to local domain server? I am getting this error in both smbfs / cifs.

 smbclient -L //192.168.39.152/ -U svnbackup

    Sharename       Type      Comment
    ---------       ----      -------
    ADMIN$          Disk      Remote Admin
    Android         Disk
    C$              Disk      Default share
    CENTOS          Disk
    E$              Disk      Default share
    G$              Disk      Default share
    IPC$            IPC       Remote IPC
    Nagios          Disk
    test            Disk

When I try to mount the test directory using below command Its show error saying permission denied as below.

  mount.smbfs //192.168.39.152/test /mnt/smbfs -o username=username,password=Svn1234,domain=xyz.com
  mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)

Please help me to solve the issue.

  1. I've found solution on this site: Issue Mounting CIFS Share | ubuntuforums.org

    Generally in Windows you should add this key in regedit. It works for me now. Key goes in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System

    Key DWORD (32-bit): LocalAccountTokenFilterPolicy Key Value : 1

    try: 

    mount -t cifs //address/sharename /mnt/whatever \
-o `**username=DomainName/username**,password=password`

    if it doesnt work, try:

    mount.cifs //address/Share /mnt/share/ -o username=address/username

    dont add a password, it should prompt u for one and possible it'll work, gl

  3. Try cifs. smbfs is deprecated by cifs-utils. smbfs is used in Debian <= 3.

    mount -t cifs //192.168.39.152/test -o \
  username=username,password=Svn1234,domain=xyz.com /mnt/smbfs
