Permanently mount network share without the need for log on? (Windows)

On a Windows 2008 R2 Server (Standard) I need to have a network drive mounted without having a specific user to log on to the machine first. Sort of like an NFS mount via fstab on Unix machines. The network drive will be a share via a BlackArmor (Seagate) appliance (which I presume runs Samba). The appliance can be a member of the domain if needed.

So far I have tried using Edit Group Policy -> Configuration -> Windows -> Scripts -> Startup where I had it execute

net use x: \\server\share /user:username password

With no success. Upon login the network drive was seen on Windows Explorer as a disconnected network drive.
