[Samba] Make share appear as drive under My Computer automatically

I am using the latest version of Samba on Debian/GNU Linux. I am running Samba on an old Gateway machine that has very little hard drive space or RAM. (I'm merely trying to configure and get familiar with Samba before putting it on our mail server.)
I have successfully gotten Samba to work as a domain controller using roaming profiles. I would like to make a drive in My Computer appear as "T:" automatically whenever a user logs into the domain. I have read the documentation on the command, and apparently, one needs to run a logon script that runs a "net" command to connect a network drive letter. I use the following in a logon script:
net user T: \\WING\test
I can see the logon script run, but it always fails. The drive sometimes appears in My Computer, but it has a red X on the icon, signifying that it is not available.
I wonder if anyone has had success with this. I am a novice with Samba, and I would appreciate any help. If I have been unclear in anything, please let me know, and I will restate and clarify exactly what I mean.
Following is my smb.conf file.
[global]
;basic server settings
workgroup = SAMBA
netbios name = WING
server string = Samba PDC running %v
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
;PDC and master browser settings
os level = 64
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
;security and logging settings
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
log level = 2
max log size = 50
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0
;user profiles and home directory
logon home = \\%L\%U\
logon drive = T:
logon path = \\%L\profiles\%U
logon script = netlogon.bat
# ==== shares ====
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
[profiles]
path = /home/samba/profiles
writeable = yes
browseable = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /home/netlogon
read only = yes
browseable = no
write list = tom
Thank you in advance for any help that anyone may be able to offer.
