How do I add a policy that will put an alias to the file server on the user's desktop?

You can actually do this with a Managed Preference setting. It works best when using Kerberos for single sign-on authentication but I believe it will also prompt users when connecting if Kerberos isn't in play.

Domain: loginwindow
Key: AutoLaunchedApplicationDictionary-raw
Key Type: Enter Manually (Array or Dictionary)
Value: ```
<array> <dict> <key>AuthenticateAsLoginUserShortName</key> <true/> <key>Hide</key> <false/> <key>URL</key> <string>smb://server.example.com/share</string> </dict>
</array>
```
