In Microsoft's Active Directory, you put users and systems in "OU" (Organizational Units), and each OU can have group policies and those policies can specify login scripts, these can do things like map network drives for users. Presumably, Samba's implementation of AD offers a similar facility, but I don't think the domain management tools in Samba are anywhere near as well integrated or full featured as what you get with a Windows Server system.

From what I have read on the subject the recommended path for Samba4

management is to install MicroSoft's Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows X package, where X is whatever version of MS-Windows you run as a domain member workstation client. Earlier forms of the software were called Windows Server Y Administrative Tools Pack where Y refers to the server version (2000, 2003, etc.)
