mapped drive that never disconnects

I need to map a drive in 2003 server, that never disconnects. Basically there is a NAS share, which will have a database installed on it from 2003 server. I need this resource mapped at boot, and it needs to be mapped no matter who is on the server. Is this possible?? TIA for any assistance.

Simply put, write a small batch file that uses the net use command. Include the /persistent:yes switch on the command. Put the batchfile in the startup folder of the machine in question. If you aren't familiar with the "net use" command, try the Windows help files or do a little research on microsoft's knowledge base or even google it.
