I would like to mount a CIFS group share directory on a Linux server and maintain the group permissions of users configured in the Active Directory (AD). The Linux server is already configured to use AD.

Here are the commands to mount with write permissions on the group share:

mount -t cifs -o username='userid',workgroup='groupName',uid='userid',gid='groupname/id',file_mode=0664,dir_mode=0775 //server/location/ 'local mount location'
