Put the following parameter in your smb.conf:

logon script = %G.bat

Then, create a script named after each group in your "netlogon" share, 
in your case "tech.bat", "mktg.bat" and "sales.bat".


The script corresponding to the group the particular user belongs to will be executed upon logon.

To map the shares to drives, the script should contain commands in the folllowing format:

net use g: \\server\sharename

(The drive letter to use depends, of course, on your particular case).


See "Variable substitutions" on the smb.conf man page.
