I never understood why people map persistent in a logon script. I mean, it maps on every logon anyway???

In fact, I go out of my way to issue a NET USE /persistent:no to disable the default behavior. That way if users map their own drives they have to deliberately select "Reconnect at logon". This cuts down on the number of rogue drive mappings that sneak their way in to become legacy and then haunt you later.
