Did you notice the link to the FAQs at the top of this and every other forum? Did you notice the part telling you to read them BEFORE posting questions? Did you notice there is a FAQ that explains this very topic?

PS, what I am using does work for the builtin accounts, just not domain accounts:
sudo mount -t smbfs -o username=domain\username,password=pasword //server/share /mnt/share
I'm trying it from the same server, works with builtin accounts, no luck with domain accounts. Access denied error message.

domain\\username

\ is a special character and needs to be escaped with another \
