You can use a logon script, name specified in the usermanager.
And map the drive wtih the net use command.

Make sure profiles are enabled for Win98 machines. You can easily force all
9x machines to have profiles enabled by setting it in the system policy
editor and saving it to netlogon share as config.pol.

Try using the following command in your logon script. It will map the Z: to
the User Manager defined home directory for all non NT/2000 machines..

if not "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" NET USE Z: /HOME
