This caused me to go into Google mode checking how parameters are passed in to Visual Basic Script and then applying the basic network drive mapping script. Now I feel that only the proper thing to do is share it with everyone out there that is looking for the same thing he was. This is a very simple script that does something equally simple. Hopefully this will simply some of the group policies that are out there.

Usage: mapme.vbs Z //server/share
This would result in passing Z as the drive letter and mapping it to the UNC path of //server/share

?Download mapme.vbs
Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments
Set objNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
objNetwork.MapNetworkDrive  objArgs(0) & ":" , objArgs(1)
