I was lucky and found an old script in a magazine. I just hacked it together
to do what I wanted. It's amazing what you can do to shut up a whinging user.
I had one user who like to log into his laptop (not plugged into the network)
then plug it into the LAN and wanted his network drives mapped. He didn't
want to see any errors like "mapped drive has not been restored' when he
wasn't on the network.
The only way I could think to do it was to throw together an event trap that
would detect when he got a legitimate IP address and run his login script.

Well I've only recently moved into a network admin role. My previous jobs
have been writing applications and scripts, some of which were used by
admins, so I've got a bit of a head start.........
