I don't believe anything is wrong with having \\server\share <file:///\\server\share> in a start-up script as long as the computer waits until the network adapter has started prior to processing the policy. Perhaps set "Always wait for Network" under Computer/Admin/System Logon/Always wait for the network at computer start-up and logon This way the network resources are available when policies are processed.
