Is there a way to assign a drive mapping in such a way that a user cannot change it?
 
In the Policy Editor you can disable the Disconnect Network Drive option. Plus you can also diable the Start/Run and Command Prompts.

The users will have nowhere to disconnect the drive.

Open the Policy Editor and in your Users Policy look in "Windows NT Shell" and "Restrictions" for the disabling the disconnect network drive. Look in the "Shell" and "Restrictions" for the others.

I guess I was vague in my question. I'm looking for a way to do just what you describe, but from the command line. Something like:

NET USE D: \\SERVER\SHARE /NOCHANGE

Where the /NOCHANGE switch is my idea of what makes the drive unchangable for that session. It seems like I've seen a switch for NET USE that does this, but I can't remember what it was or where I saw it mentioned.
 
You can the following commands in the usres login script

net use drive: \\machine or server name\sharename /persistent:yes

then after every login it will connect automatically to the perticular drive.
and then create one policy for disabling the discoonection of network drives using policy editor in windows nt or 2000.
