I have a problem with filenames on my Windows Server 2008 R2 machine. The files get uploaded by a webserver that runs Linux, on that machine there is a mount to our windows machine. When we upload files certain characters are shown in a weird way, to give you an example.

I tried to solve this problem by using tool called convmv
this tool takes an input encoding and you can tell it to use a specific output encoding.
But then I have to know the current encoding which I don't know. Does anyone know how to get the current encoding of a filename?
Does anyone of you had a similar problem and maybe knows a solution for this?

I would change your mount option to include a iocharset=utf8
