My answer is an adaptation of the answer in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3221944?start=15&tstart=0

The variation is, I moved the mount point from your home directory to a system area (e.g. /smb) and ensuring that the user can create that mount point, i.e. 4755 permissions.

  1. Add this line to the end of /etc/auto_master:

    /-     auto_smb

  2. Create parent folder:

    sudo mkdir /smb
sudo chmod 4755 /smb

  3. Create /etc/auto_smb with:

    /smb/folder -fstype=smbfs,soft ://domain;user:password@server/folder

  4. Run automount:

    automount -vc

The troubleshooting points are:

  1. If you encounter "Too many users" you need to review your SMB path for typos and syntax errors.
  2. Also be careful of incorrect username / passwords, or passwords with special symbols. e.g. @ would need to be replaced with %40.
