  Odds are that when they can't reach a share, it's for a reason that is
also stopping them from reaching a domain controller....

  It should be pretty simple to build a normal logon script, at the domain
controller, that checks that the intended shares have been mounted and
executes the appropriate NET USE command if they are not.

  i.e., Instead of trying to prevent them from disconnecting the share when
they can't reach the network, use a script to force the share whenever they
CAN connect.
