Justin, I have a script that uses a basic xml file to store the resources for our network. Then a login script parses that file and maps the drives or printers for the user. The code could easily be modified to make the mappings permanent instead of the expectation that they run each time. You

I have used a couple of different versions of it. It's good for removing viruses and spyware, and maybe some other maintenance, but I have a different method loading ghost images. In fact, I recently setup a PXE server to help with that (and unattended). It works really slick. Adam Peart
