Mounting network drives at boot

As a newbie to Windows administration, I'm trying to find out how I can
mount some NFS drives automatically on boot. I'm able to map the
drives during an indiviual session, but I'd like them to map to drives
automatically on reboot, without intervention.

How is this possible?

Thanks
 
Use a batch file in the users' Startup program group, or if these are
generic mappings that everyone gets or needs put it in All Users\Startup.

If you map a drive at boot time then access rights to
that drive are governed by the account used while
mapping the drive. What access rights should be given
to your foreground session? This leads to an obvious
security issue, hence any drive mapped in the background
remains invisible to foreground sessions.
