Unable to Mount Windows Share on Solaris 10
System = SunOS
Release = 5.10
KernelID = Generic_120012-14
Machine = i86pc
----------------------
Created a mount point and then ran this command and got this error:
# mount -F smbfs //192.168.2.1/test /mnt/ntserver
mount: Operation not applicable to FSType smbfs
----------------------
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I tried to run that command to enable the service but it didn't work; so I did this:
# svcadm enable network/samba
# svcs -a | grep samba
maintenance 10:56:16 svc:/network/samba:default
-----------------------
Still no good results:
mount: Operation not applicable to FSType smbfs
mount: Operation not applicable to FSType cifs
# svcadm enable network/samba
# svcs -a | grep samba
maintenance 10:56:16 svc:/network/samba:default
-----------------------
Still no good results:
mount: Operation not applicable to FSType smbfs
mount: Operation not applicable to FSType cifs
It shows that samba service is not online, it is in maintance mode.
maintenance 10:56:16 svc:/network/samba:default
and the service which you are trying to enable is the samba server service, Is there any client service.

Please install smbclient then It will recognise the smbfs and will mount it.

I've looked around and can not find a good resource to describe how to install smbclient. It appears to be available. I can find the file and I've configured the smb.conf.
There is no samba executable in /etc/init.d.
Not sure what the next steps are.

If you dont have good resource for the same then we have a another option.
Could you tell me which windows you are using so that we can install Windows service for Unix on your windows box and then we can create a NFS share and would be able to mount that in your SUN box.
This solution would always work.

Ok. Using Windows Server 2003. Also can you provide instructions for Windows XP and 7 as well?
Thanks.
Thanks.

This works well. Thanks.
# svcadm enable network/smb/client
Have you tried to change the FStype as well.
# mount -F cifs //192.168.2.1/test /mnt/ntserver
