Yes, it can be done, but you'll have to do a couple of things.
First, the CF Application Server, which by default runs in the LocalSystem
security context, will have to be run as a specific user with rights to the
network. There's a document on the Allaire knowledge base about setting this
up.
Second, you'll have to make sure that the desired drive mapping exists for
that specific user. You can do this by creating a persistent drive mapping.
