[ubuntu] Ubuntu Mount Windows Share at logon

[binsteadittech]

Looking for some advice and guide on how I can mount a windows share to a folder on the desktop at logon.

 

I get mount it manually using terminal but looking to get the process automated at logon.

 

 

any help would be great.

Have a look through this - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently

 

It was what i used the last time that i did this.

We have this with Centos7. The procedure is basically to join the machine to the domain:

 

realm join -v example.domain.com -U administrator

 

Then add a line to the skeleton profile:

/etc/skel/.bash_profile

 

gvfs-mount smb://servername/homes (maps to individual username, I'm not sure if this will work on windows servers - ours are linux, you may be able to mess around with $username ?)

gvfs-mount smb://servername/sharename

 

 

It may be slightly different on Ubuntu, I've only used Centos for School Desktops.

In lieu of me actually writing my guide up, I saw this recent video by DevOps Library on Youtube that covers it (slightly different method, but it works).
