Don't have an SBS 2K box in front of me, but you should be able to place the user in the Power Users group in AD.

Then create some simple batch files that map the drives, put them in a Script Folder, and push them out using Group Policy:

User Configuration > Windows Settings > Scripts > Logon

Nice, and much better than a batch file!

I think this will work , but has to be applied trough GP

Add domain user to power users group

**start

Dim strComputer
 Dim strUser
 strComputer = objNet.ComputerName
 strUser = objNet.UserName

 Set objGroup = GetObject("WinNT://" & strComputer & "/Power Users")
 Set objUser = GetObject("WinNT://MyDomain/" &strUser)
 objGroup.Add(objUser.ADsPath)

**end
