As you mentioned, I believe that VBS would just give you more functionality.
For mapping drives, a batch would be fine. There are programs that could be
used to enhance batch files. One that I can think of is called
"ifmember" -- to test if user is a member of a group, then you could branch
to an area in the batch file. I havent used it, but it may be of interest.
Glad to hear that you got it working.
