I built a trolley containing 15 laptops which is wheeled around the school and plugged in to a network point via a Wireless Access point. This is fine but some of the laptops will not map the network drives atc. It seems the script is running too early in the sequence of events during logon. Any ideas on how to set it to trigger after the machine has found the wireless nic.

After computer boots log off then on again. The network drives are mapped on a user access level.
This is caused by the asyncronous loading of networking during the boot up process. This speeds up the login process in a stand-alone workstation by allowing the user to log in with cached logon credentials before the network is fully ready.
To disable this "feature" and restore your logons to their normal speed, open the MMC and add the group policy snap-in. Under Computer Configuration-->Administrative Templates-->System-->Logon, change "Always wait for the network at computer startup and logon" to ENABLED.
