CIFS mount from fstab not working
This method used to work with RHEL 5, and 6, so I used to just add this Line in /etc/fstab:
\192.168.1.50V$ /mnt/N cifs user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=Administrator,password=password 0 0
But now this is not working on RHEL 7.6
I found this link
CentOS / RHEL 7: How to follow the mount order in /etc/fstab. After following I copied /run/systemd/generator/mnt-N.mount file to /etc/systemd/system/mnt-N.mount. Rebooted but it's still not working.
Contents of mnt-N.mount:
# Automatically generated by systemd-fstab-generator
[Unit]
SourcePath=/etc/fstab
Documentation=man:fstab(5) man:systemd-fstab-generator(8)
Before=remote-fs.target
[Mount]
What=192.168.1.205V$
Where=/mnt/V
Type=cifs
Options=user,uid=500,rw,suid,username=Administrator,password=PSCr0cks

Your \192.168.1.50V$ from fstab becomes 192.168.1.205V$ later. Compare fstab-generator interprets backslashes in CIFS mounts.
You may try \\192.168.1.50V$ and it will probably generate a proper mount unit. However the linked discussion (from 2015) states you may experience problems with mount then. I don't know if the behavior of the two tools has finally been made uniform.
It's better to avoid backslashes at all and use forward slashes for CIFS mounts:
//192.168.1.50/V$
