Drives are mapped by the logon script. The logon script resides
on the netlogon share (in a domain environment) or in the startup
folder (in a workgroup environment).

Access rights are defined by the logon name/password, not by
the domain/workgroup model. If you log on locally as JSmith/xzy,
and if there is a domain account called JSmith/xzy, then the local
user JSmith will have access to the same domain resources as the
domain user JSmith.
