log on to the citrix xenserver and go to the linux signon screen, and type in
mkdir /backup
mount -t cifs "//192.168.0.20/VM Backup" -o username=username,password=password /backup
change (backup) in mkdir /backup to the folder you wish to map to on the local xenserver
then "mount -t cifs "//192.168.0.20/VM Backup" -o username=username,password=password /backup" change 192.168.0.20 to the ip of the window server, change VM Backup to the share name on the windows server, then change the username and password
option 2

mount.cifs "//%IP_ADDRESS%/%SHARE_NAME%" /vmbackups -o username=Administrator
replace %IP_ADDRESS% with the server ip you want to mount to and also replace %SHARE_NAME% with the share you want to connect to
