I guess I'm confused why they can't use the net use command while logged in
using their domain account - even with regular local user permissions, this
should work just fine. Can't you just put it in these users' login scripts,
or even just a batch file in their startup folders? If you try to run that
command manually from their computers while logged in as them, what errors
do you get?
