We still do delay adding them, for exactly that reason. And we have explorer open up the root of those mapped drives on startup, because sometimes if you re-add an existing share it doesn't really gell properly and you end up with the little red x. If you just double click it (or launch explorer opening there) it works fine, but if you don't other software (ie Nuke running as a render node) doesn't seem to. It's not exactly elegant, but it works. This particular problem doesn't exist when you use UNC, but then you lose out of so much "portability" (though a bunch of *these* problems can be got around using Deadline, either to set the mapped paths prior to rendering OR by sending command lines to machines to add and remove mapped drives).
