Thanks, Bill.  I was coming to the conclusion that this would have to be
scripted, at least for the CIFS shares.  Do you leave the various shares
mapped/used, or do you "net use /delete" them at the end of your script?

I might experiment with a PRESCHEDULECMD script to do the "net use" bits
and then add the shares to the DOMAIN (if that works -- I'm totally not
a Windows admin).  Though I suppose it'd be wiser to script the entire
thing, as you did, so there's only one place to add or remove filespaces.
