I guess what I was trying to say is that depending on how drives are mapped, unless the user physically logs in to the desktop, drive mappings may not get applied (specifically drives mapped through login scripts). Login scripts don't appear to get processed when a service logs in.
I wasn't sure about the ones manually mapped as persistent mappings, so I'll take your word on that.
