In case it is of interest or will help, below is a snippet of the code.
"CompDN" is a function that returns the distinguished name of the computer.

/Al

 ' determine which unit, if any, this workstation belongs to
 share = ""
 sgcount = 0
 with GetObject( "LDAP://" & CompDN() )
  For Each groupob In .groups
   If ( groupob.description <> "" ) Then
    sgcount = sgcount + 1
    If ( sgcount = 1 ) Then
     share = groupob.description
    else
     share = ""
    End if
   End if
  Next
 End With

 ' unit affiliation is valid?
 If ( share = "" ) Then
  ' not valid, advise user
  MsgBox "Workstation " & WNO.ComputerName & " has" _
   &vbnewline & "not been assigned a unit file
folder" _
   & vbnewline & vbnewline & "Contact Informatics",
, "Unit File Folders"
 Else
  ' valid. map share if necessary
  If ( not FSO.DriveExists( drive ) ) Then
    WNO.MapNetworkDrive drive, share
  End If
  ' open up explorer on the drive
  WSO.run "explorer.exe " & drive
 End if
