    I don't know if that's possible. You can map one drive letter in the
    user's profile tab using the Home Folder properties. You can also
    redirect certain folders such as My Documents and their desktop. I know
    of no way of mapping network drives without using a logon script.

    You could possibly login as the local administrator, map the drives
    manually and then copy NTUSER.DAT to the Default User folder. You would
    have to remove the NTUSER.DAT from every user account (on every
    machine). I think this would only be useful if you were using images on
    a new set of boxen.

    Why do you have an aversion to logon scripts?
