Peter De Maeyer, as per
http://www.dell.com/support/troubleshooting/us/en/19/Product/precision-t3500
an update is available for your BIOS (A17). If you update to this, does
it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  [Dell Precision WorkStation T3500] Kernel 3.2.0-27-generic-pae fails
  to mount CIFS shares

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After today's kernel upgrade to 3.2.0-27-generic-pae, my CIFS shares
  won't mount. It still works with kernel 3.2.0-26-generic-pae.

  Symptoms:
  * command-line mount such as "sudo mount -t cifs //server1/TestData /mnt/server/TestData -o username=peterd,password=<mypassword>,uid=peterd,rw,_netdev" is stuck
  * dmesg shows CIFS mount errors

  Workaround: revert to older kernel.
