Joined domain successfully
mkdir /mnt/windows - successful
mount -t cifs //<Server (I tried IP and server name)> /mnt/windows -o username=<tried several domain accounts> - unsuccessful

Mounting the DFS root for a particular server not implemented yet
No ip address specified and the hostname not found
Can anyone help me out with this issue?

A) You don't have to join a domain to access/mount a Windows share.
B) Just like in Windows, you can't "mount" the machine itself - you must specify the share name:
mount -t XXX //WIN_MACHINE/SHARE_NAME /mnt/share_name
** Note that depending on the version, the -t parameter may be cifs or smbfs.
