Be sure to install cifs-utils
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils
Once cifs is installed you can then mount a share path using the sudo mount command as follows:
sudo mount -t cifs -o user=<yournetid>,domain=ad //<servername>/<sharename> /<mountpoint>
where <yournetid> is your NYU network ID, <servername> is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the server, <sharename> is the name of the share on that server and <mountpoint> is the name of a folder you would like to create to access the mapped path.
