This is why we have managers - so that, no matter what kind of system we
have setup, we will be told it must be done differently...

No matter what you do, you will never be able to map BOTH shares to drive
letter G: at the same time. If each share mapping is dependent on membership
in the group that gives one access, put your manager in both groups, and
change your common script to map one toG: and the other to H:

Or, alternately, map a single share to G:, and use NTFS permissions to
determine what each user gets access to. Creating a special script for this
one user, manager or not, is simply to open the door to bad management of
your facilities.
