Mapping a drive in the background is not an option, because
its access rights will be valid within the context of the account
used for the background job. If the drive was visible in the
foreground then you would have a security violation - hence
drives mapped in the background remain invisible to foreground
sessions.

Why do you actually want the drive to be mapped before
the user logs in?
