Map's drive automatically

I would like to setup a user account in the AD domain and once that user log’s in, I’d like a map drive to our shared directory to be automatically mapped. What’s the best way for me to do this?
Is this best way done by Log in scripting or Could I do this in the Active Directory Users and Computers?

login script it is then.., I was hoping I could somehow pre-configure map drive for each user than having to write down 2 line of script to map a drive. Question, Could I use a variable like %userprofile% in the script?
Thanks,
