[computer-tech-support: 7686] Mapped Drives

First a background -

My company is using the following configuration. Windows XP Pro
Client Desktops and Linux Servers. Authentication is handled through
the red hat LDAP application. There is a script that run in the
logon.bat file that first removes a public drive and a home folder
mapping and then maps the drives again. As a standard security policy
our authentication server is set automatically require a change in
password every 90 days and to lock a user out of the network on the
third incorrect password entry.

We also have Windows XP laptops in use at the company and they are
causing a problem. When a person has a desktop and a laptop they
generally leave the laptop at home. When their password changes at
the office, the password on all network resources changes as well but
the windows login for the home machine doesn't. A user will log into
the computer using PasswordA, connect to the local internet, connect
to the vpn using PasswordB(The correct network password), and try to
open the saved mapped drive. Windows will try using PasswordA three
times and then the authentication server will lock the users
account.

I know that I can keep windows from saving the mapped drive but what I
would like to see happen is for Windows to attempt to connect one time
with the stored password and if that doesn't work then prompt for a
password entry or just always prompt for password entry. Is this
possible?
