I'm sorry if I misunderstand, but after reading your mail, I have 2
assumtions:
1. Users use debian with gnome/gdm in the different machine and need
   to mount the share everytime they log in.
   Create a directory for mounting user share.
   Then create a file with 0700 for everyuser place in a save place :
  
   #!/bin/bash
   smbmount //serveraddress/sharedfolder /pathtomountingpoint -o
   username=whatever,password=pwd;
   exit 0;
  
   add these line to $HOME/user/.bashrc :

   if [ -f PATHTOSCRIPTFILE ]; then
       . PATHTOSCRIPTFILE;
   fi
  
   that's all.

2. Users use windows :
   Create a batch file with these lines and place it in a very safe
   place.
  
   @echo off
   net use Z: \\serveraddress\sharedfolder /user:username password

   you can modify the drive letter to suit your need.
   open regedit ( Start->Run->Regedit )
   browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current
   Version\Run
   create a String value give the unique name and modify its content
   "PATHTOBATCHFILE"

   Or just place the file into user's Startup folder.
