No I would not recommend to do it that way. Best way is to assign permissions on ther server to allow users access to shares and then map the drive normally.

I know it is not a good idea to do this, I have my reason to do this way.

If you put this in your logon script it should do what you want.

Dim WshNetwork
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "E:", "\\Your_Server\share_name"

This will use the username and password of the user who is logging on.
you can put "username@domain","password" at the end if you want.

i.e. if you wish to map a share user2 can access but user1 can't to user1's account do the following in user1's logon script

Dim WshNetwork
Set WshNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
WshNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "E:", "\\Your_Server\share_name","user2@domain","user2_password"

Good luck
