man mount (pay attention to 'user' options)

Windows clients should run logon scripts to mount directories on their
systems.

There is no reason to hold a debate on NFS vs. SMB mounts for Linux
clients. There are vast differences between file & group ownership, file
locks, and it's far better to know how to use both and be knowledgable
enough to draw your own conclusions - who better to understand your
needs and your setup than you?
