I wrote an applescript app to handle common network mounts and run it as a launch agent - every 5 minutes - so that laptops can get mounts wired, wireless, at home through vpn.
But it's ugly.

In my opinion an applescript and LaunchAgent approach is best for this. Install a LaunchAgent into /Library/LaunchAgents and point it at an applescript (with everyone read/execute permissions) containing your mapped drive logic. The actual script would vary wildly depending on your requirements.

Hey @bentoms, thank you for all the work you do! 10.10.3 broke automatic network mount and your fix worked flawlessly!

@Poseiden951 Awesome. I've been using it since 10.6 I think. :)
