How to mount a windows administrative share on linux via SMB

tftd,

try escaping the $ character with a \

mount -t smbfs -o username=MyUsername //10.0.0.2/D\$ /mnt/machine_1_d

dc

Administrative shares in Windows are named with the volume letter first, then the '$' symbol, not the other way around.

C: --> C$

D: --> D$

sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=graeme,domain=example //server.example.com/C$ /mnt/bla

My issue was related to: "mount error(13): Permission denied Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)" For me the solution was adding key to regedit in Window. Below is my answer in other topic: https://serverfault.com/a/619963/237340
